St Elmo's Fire

While I believe it does not technically fit the description of St Elmo's Fire I cannot think of a better title. Basically it is the discharge of static electricity across the windscreen of my 737 as we climb through a storm. Not my best shot ever but doing what I could seeing it was a rough ride. What I couldn't capture was the amazing view of the ice crystals momentarily glowing as they hit the windscreen. Almost like watching a snow signal on your tv but with a steely blue hue.
