Lightning chart from 11:16 pm on July 26, 2006, showing the status of the ongoing thunder and lightning storm around Oslo and southern Norway.
The yellow squares represent lightning strikes less than an hour ago, red are 1-3 hours ago and the blue squares indicate lightning strikes 3-6 hours ago. So, the thunderstorm was moving south, reaching the capital around midnight.

When lightning struck our neighbour's house, a beam from their balcony was thrown 40 feet and landed on our doorstep. Other debris littered the driveway, but our Vespa was spared.
Lightning from a southbounnd storm over Louisville, KY on 18 July, 2012. I wish I had brought the camera out sooner as I missed a wonderful light show
My first night attempting to catch lightning. I used my Kodak EasyShare Z712 IS with editing in GIMP.
The linear dissipator consists of a central cable with dissipation electrodes inserted continously within the wind of the cable. The dissipator is designed to retard streamer formation and to enhance the natural dissipation characteristic of the structure, consistent with aestetic considerations. A basic part in lightning protection systems.
Thunderstorm over Fort Collins CO. We were hoping the rain from this storm would help slow down the High Park Fire. My first attempt at photographing lightning.
There was a lightning strike today and I got a lot of good pictures but this one, I thought, was the best out of all of them. I really like how the lightning allows you to see some islands which would normally not be seen.
On top of the Langham Place Mall. I had to take a couple of risky moves and went through a bunch of maintenance areas.
This is the RAW file with a little touch up specifically towards the Sky.
I used 150/10 second shutter speed with F 5.6 and an 18-55mm Lense using a Nikon D40.
Zooming in on this picture will show the detail in the lightning. Much better detail than I expected.
Taking pictures of lightning requires patience, patience I don't have... Unlike most of my subjects, I couldn't just waiting for lightning to strike then hit the shutter... By the time the picture would be taken, the lightning would be gone. So basically you really have to anticipate the lightning occurring BEFORE it actually does, but even then that doesn't always produce a picture of lightning...
Of the three pictures I took at this location, all of them got some lightning in the shot, but one was too blurry for posting... so that's a 66% success rate, pretty good for a first-timer, huh?
This mermaid may have something in common with Harry Potter! It appears as if she was struck by lightning while swimming in the ocean near the water's surface... What an unfortunate accident! But her lightning bolt "souvenir" didn't disfigure her in the least, nor do the white eyelashes she has on her left eye, also the result of being struck by lightning.
These "imperfections" may even enhance her beauty. They certainly do give her a distinctive look! She was very friendly and allowed me to take quite a few shots before re-joining the throngs who were moving in both directions along the boardwalk.

Fireflies are familiar, but few realize that these insects are actually beetles, nocturnal members of the family Lampyridae. Most fireflies are winged, which distinguishes them from other luminescent insects of the same family, commonly known as glowworms.
