Some old lightning

I was going through some old photos and found this. I took it about 3 years ago from the balcony at my work in Rushcutters Bay in Sydney. It was a 20 sec exposure as part of a timelapse taken on my 500D @ 18mm. It was huge, this image has just had the top and bottom cropped a bit to get rid of the balcony railing and roof, other than that it's the full frame.

It's a cracker of a shot.

I was going to say what JJJ said. Then i scrolled up and she said it.
It's a beauty alright. I love the randomness of lightning.

Thanks everyone!
I literally haven't tried taking lightning photos since I got this one as I knew I had my once-in-a-lifetime shot. However seeing all the amazing shots that are getting posted here, especially the stacked ones, makes me want to have another go
