A populated space combined with that threatening bolts of lightning sure is a winner in my book. Well done!

Scary stuff. Well done Neville. Looks like you may have had to take a risk or two to get these though. Great outcome.

Thanks guys!

There was no risk taking these shots, as they were taken from our dining room window on the 12th floor!

We are blessed with a great view...

Wow! Those are fantastic. Something that I have been chasing for years. I am jealous that you got to stay dry and out of harms way for these shots too, nicely done.

It was quite dramatic actually, as the lightning was so close. Hardly any delay between the strikes and the thunder.
