Stormy Solent Sunset
Stormy Solent Sunset
24 hours after the hottest day of the year, we had a huge storm. A house on the Isle of Wight was wrecked after it was hit by lightning during the storm.
I took this a couple of hours before the worst of the lightning started. I didn't want to be on the seafront with a 1.8m tripod with lightning raining down across the Solent.
In this shot, you can see the bank of low cloud rolling in off the sea (from the left) to hide the towering Fawley power station chimney.
The electricity pylons, to the right, give an indication of the height of the power station chimney.
