I took this photo on my recent trip to the Amalfi coast in Italy. In Alaska we rarely get any lightning so I was really excited that I was able to get one of these photos to turn out ok. Capri is the island in the far back just to the right of the big lightning bolt. I want to go back already. Thanks for looking.

Excellent photo!

I like the feeling of this, almost biblical. Nice work!


Practice, practice, and practice some more, and when you think you have got it right, start over.

Wow! It looks like a scene from Lord of the Rings or something like that. Awesome photo!

Not bad, I like the three peaks coming out of the water.

Thanks so much for all your comments. This was one of the highlights of my week there on the coast. With all your positive comments I am thinking I should maybe add a new page to my website such as "Outside Alaska" and include this photo among some of my other Italy photographs.
