When Lightning Strikes

On the day I took these photographs it was raining on and off. That made for very interesting atmospheric shots. I love clouds in the sky because they convey a mood so easily.

 

The moment I drove up to this corner I was truck by the tree. The very tree that had obviously at some point a while ago been struck by lightning. You can see that by the damage that has been done to the top and the fact that the tree has been killed completely. The other interesting factor is the way this skeletal tree's branches have taken on the form of lightning itself. Have a closer look.

 

This tree makes a fitting centrepoint to the composition as the road draws us around the corner to what might be.
