I was only able to capture one bolt and soon after we were engulfed in cloud and heavy rain with almost continuous flashing and crashing!
On the New England Highway just south of Uralla. This was a hideout for Fred Ward the bushranger known as Captain Thunderbolt

I finally managed to take some thunderbolt shots. I was trying each time there was a lightning storm, but this time I managed to take some shots.
Very, very frightening me.

Magnifico-o-o-o-o.
Lyrics from bohemian rhapsody, I thought I'd finish up the rest of the lightning series right away.

'64 FORD Fairlane 500 THUNDERBOLT
Sporting a 427 cubic inch engine ! Thunderbolt was a 425hp 427 cid high rise engine. Reported horsepower was 425, however it was closer to 500 hp and rocketed these tiny Ford's to mid 11 second quarter mile times. The 427 engine featured 12.7:1 compression, two four barrel carburetors, and a special intake and camshaft. Air was fed into the engine through a ram air system with vents connected to unused head lamp entrances in the grill. Very unique headers were constructed that snaked around the suspension.

Iniciando outubro, mês em que comemoramos o Dia do Aviador e Dia da Força Aérea, trago para vocês um ícone da batalha travada na Itália durante a Segunda Grande Guerra: O Republic P-47 Thunderbolt voado pelo bravos pilotos do 1⁰ Grupo de Aviação de Caça.
Este exemplar foi fotografado no Museu Aeroespacial no Rio de Janeiro ( @museuaeroespacial ).
Abrindo um parênteses: Adoro este museu e sou suspeito para dizer que é um excelente lugar para visitar.
After a long period of hot and dry weather we had a major thunderstorn with floods of water and hailstones yesterday. I was really afraid that the windows would shatter. There was some devastation in our area, but we were lucky.

Bei schönstem Winterwetter unternahm ich einen Spaziergang an der Ostseeküste von Schönhagen in Richtung Damp. Am Naturstrand unterhalb der Steilküste fand ich diesen Donnerkeil. Donnerkeil ist ein fossiliertes Innenskelett eines ausgestorbenen Belemniten (Kopffüßers). Sie ähnelten im Aussehen dem heutigen Kalmaren, hatten 10 Fangarme und einen Tintenbeutel.
In beautiful winter weather, I took a walk on the Baltic coast from Schönhagen in the direction of Damp. I found this thunderbolt on the natural beach below the cliff. Thunderbolt is a fossilized inner skeleton of an extinct belemnite (cephalopod). They resembled today's squids in appearance, had 10 tentacles and an ink bag.
One of the most significant fighters of WW2, a fully loaded P-47D weighed in at around 8 tonnes - more than twice that of an early war Spitfire. Extensive internal ductwork links the supercharger (located behind the pilot) with the engine up front.
The P-47 was nicknamed 'Jug' - for years I thought that was short for Juggernaut, but it turns out the reason is the body shape (if imagined being stood on its nose) resembles that of a milk jug!
Btw, 'a nickname' is a mispronunciation of 'an eek name' where 'eek' (or 'eke') is a now defunct word for 'also.'
Sunset over Saint Andrews-by-the-Sea, New Brunswick. The moored boat is the Thunderbolt, that I captured in several other photos, including one on her way into port.
Another image from the powerful storm we had a couple of weeks ago. Again taken from the safety of indoors from my laundry window!
I say safety, but apparently, in the same storm, someone in South Australia did get electrocuted inside their home when they flipped a light switch right at the moment of a lightning flash!
The brown tinge of smoke can be seen lower right where a local grassfire had been started by a strike. I believe there were as many as 40 to 50 grassfires in the south of our state that night.
