We almost never get lightning storms around here. The climatological conditions just don't come together the way they need to in order to form a powerful electrical storm. But every now and then - about every two years - a storm with thunder and lightning blows in from the Pacific and gives us a nice little show. This one happened last August and it was particularly great because the storm stayed right off shore, which allowed me to stay bone dry while photographing the unfolding drama.

 

On a humorous note, this bolt of lightning striking the fog layer over the ocean reminds a lot of the "Screw these 6 fish in particular" meme.

 

On a serious note, the recent photo page design change has definitely made my experience on Flickr less fulfilling, so I found a way of restoring the old photo page design without having to switch my Flickr language setting. Details here: www.elmofoto.com/Hacks/FlickrHackr

 

 

It's been an incredibly long week, so I'm particularly looking forward to this coming weekend! Happy Friday to all!
