Ric,
Thanks, mate. After capturing this, I started watching hailstorm videos on YouTube. Far out, we thought we have it bad -- there's some videos of hailstorms in Oklahoma -- hail the size of baseballs, which would easily kill someone if they donked them in the right spot on the head.

Out to the east though the bureau was spot on, we copped the lot at our place, wind, storms, lightning and hail.

Barry,
Despite La Niņa being a pain as far as astronomy goes, it has really provided for some of the most spectacular sunsets I've ever seen in the 4.5 years I've been in Canberra. Just stunning. If there's even a hint of cloud about an hour before sunset, I'm in the car and on my way out. Thanks!

Great work mate. I am in awe.
Baz.

Troy,
Thank you so much. And, being a photographer yourself, you know how that experience is. I was a bit fearful for a while when I was up there. In fact, I was about to turn around and head back as lightning was striking not far away from where I was. I saw a couple of people going for walks and decided that if they thought it was OK to go walking in that type of weather, then, I will be OK taking pictures. Just as I got to my car, it started to pour and I got drenched. Big-ass raindrops to boot!

Marc,
Thanks! I'm hoping for some more epic ones. : )

Adam,
Thanks, mate. You're right, it was just spectacular. There was this golden hazy glow in the atmosphere which is so hard to describe. It had to be seen.
