Future Energy

So many people thing solar or wind is the way of the future, I say Nay Nay to them!

 

This is from the storm that blew through this last Thursday, 27 July 23. The storm came in from the South and headed North, didn't come close to the city at all, so no nice closeups for me to get!

 

I'm guessing the Grid was running a little low and needed a recharge. A single lightning bolt is estimated to contain 1 Billion volts of electricity, enough to power a small town for an entire day! Not an easy thing to capture but if we could we'd all see our electric bills drop. Of course, the electric company doesn't want to be giving away electricity so don't expect to see any changes in your bill anytime soon.

 

This was shot @ f/7.1 with 36 seconds on the clock and ISO 100. I had my lens zoomed out a bit to 46mm since the storm was so far away.
