Interesting here in Toronto.

First the effects of the Washington DC earthquake on Tuesday.
Then on Wednesday evening, the most Intense lightning storm I have ever witnessed.

Only shot that came out reasonably out of a 100 or so. Possibly made a bit more interesting by the cloud formation to the right which looks like either a rabbit or a goldfish.

Considering that there were 1000+ flashes over about an hour just one was a pretty poor effort.

Comments welcomed.

Pretty intense looking shot. Looks like you were fairly close to it as well, atleast in the photo it does. How long was the exposure for a shot like this and how wide did you have the aperture set? Just curious, nice shot though.

Thanks Mr Anvil.

It was quite powerful hence its brightness and probably pretty close as well. I could not see the ground from my position so cannot say for sure.
