WOW!!!! Simply Stunning,

Just how sharp and well defined are the many thin and delicate fingers feeding off of the main lightning bolt in the first image.

Wonder what damage was done at the ground impact point in the city.I reckon this would be a winner in any weather photo competition.

Well done Paul.

Thanks all for the nice comments.

Marc, I have a lightning trigger that is supposed to be here from the US, however this image is taken by holding the shutter open for 30 seconds at f8 and ISO200.
