It had been a wild and showery day, but the sun somehow managed to find a gap in the clouds just before nightfall. The sunrays illuminate Keswick and the fells. Is that Skiddaw and Blencathra?
P.s. update on my storage problems - I've spent the last couple of days properly culling my photos, and deleting over 600GB of data 😳 I've ordered a HDD so will be backed up soon! I'll wait for the dreaded Black Friday and buy a huge SSD for my second copy as well. Thanks for all your comments and help.
Teachers have the best signs and the best dancers, it's a fact! This was taken at yesterday's rally in which we fought against a billionaire, Sterling Bay, who doesn't need tax dollars and yet is getting several billion dollars to build his mini city within an already affluence part of Chicago...that doesn't need a mini city.
Also, yesterday, the city decided not to go after another nearly $90 Million dollars in fines.....so, our priorities are really obviously not where they should be. How many art and music teachers and librarians, nurses, social workers, and other clinicians could we have in schools if we just invested in children instead?

Storm chasing on the Blue Ridge Parkway near Lithia, VA. Even cropped and 78mm this strike was a little closer than I would like.

The moment of a lightning strike on a building 50m from me. Scared me half to death, hence no chance of a sharp image.

"In retaliation to recent Eurasian 'terrorist' activity NATO forces have conducted a series of surgical strikes on key Eurasian military assets. While the purpose of striking these seemingly random targets is unknown, it appears as if both superpowers are finally engaging each other in open conflict."
A build for World in Darkness! Lighting is a bit funky, but I'm figuring it out :P
For all of you 253rd members, mission 16 will be out soon I promise! Thanks for viewing guys!

It's been a long and busy day, but I got through it and that brings me one day closer to the weekend!
It was difficult being at work today; the sun was shining and the temperature was almost perfect. Being stuck inside a building was certainly a challenge and quitting time couldn't come soon enough.
But hey; survived and still managed some time in the sun!
Hope everyone has had a good day.

Cloud-to-ground lightning bolts simultaneously strike down upon the mountains near Wilcox, Arizona during monsoon thunderstorms.
Colorado Springs, CO - This shot was inspired by this week's Flickr Friday theme "Shattered". It took two cups of ice and several hammer strikes to get the desired effect.
What better way to spend part of Saint Patrick's Day than smashing ice in the garage?
In stealth mode creeping ever so slow and waiting patiently for the right moment to strike as it is lunch time !

two tufted puffins, Fratercula cirrhata, perched in the Rocky Shores exhibit at the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium in Tacoma, Washington. Though these individualsare in the zoo, this species is common in some coastal areas in Washington during the summer. Breeding occurs on islands along the northern outer coast and in the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The tufted puffin spends the winters offshore and is seldom sighted on or near land,
