Those are phenomenal!! Straight out of a Greek god-story. That second one is great, with the red-roofed houses there on the left. That's my favourite. Is there a way to get out the few blurry-dots, though? I assume those were water spots getting on the lens. The third photo, unreal!! It is amazing that little houses and trees aren't being blown to bits by that massive bolt. I love these dramatic photographs; very beautiful.

Thanx Gabrielle!
Yeah, it was pretty intense that night!
Unfortunately I am not aware of any way to clear the image from those rain droplets...
By the way, one of those bolts hit the house next door, creating a huge explosion-like sound! It made me jump off the ground in terror... I was out taking those pics at the time! The strike temporaly disabled my weather station and my home's wireless network. Fortunately they both recovered harmlessly with just a reboot...

Here is also a slide-show with more pics from that event and music...

Geia sou Dimitri!
You looked in the right place, that's my site. It is a weather site, but if you look for them you will find quite a few pics and time-lapse videos...
