that would be a great job!! i saw a program on discovery channel or somewhere, about those guys doing that here in fl., maybe it was your friend!!

kelly, noooooo i don't mind at all!! and thanks for the flowers!! if you don't mind, i'll post a couple more.

i received an "honerable mention" award for this one in nikon's international photo contest back in 88/89. it was titled "a close encounter", reminded me of the RR crossing scene in the movie "close encounters of the 3rd kind".

and this was shot during that same storm. it was suppose to have been a self portrait, but the exposure got a little long and there was so much lightening it just washed me out.

BTW, nice score on the tank!!

I have a tendency to collect pictures of lightning strikes. They make great wallpaper for my computer. Here's one from the DFW area. (Yes I have some of yours, Doug.)
