I enjoy the photos that you share H, but please play it safe with your new sport. When I was a kid I used to love getting out and watching the wild storms that would wash in after a hot summers day. One day I was unlucky (lucky?) enough to be 10m from a tall palm tree that was struck by lightning in our back yard.
The blinding flash of light, heat and noise seared the event into my memory. The tree was on fire in the pouring rain and had a split in its trunk. I never want to be that close to a lightning strike again.
