Colonial Lightning
Typical summer storm here on the Sunshine Coast tonight. Took my chances and took a few exposures at f/10 (20sec) with the Canon 5D MkII with 50mm prime.

Took 10 exposures to finally get this one, but worth it. Interesting lighting, with the Christmas lights on, mercury vapour street lamp and interior lighting from home.
