Great shot, but not a good place to be if lightning strikes.

That's a very dramatic shot and angle of incidence.

Thankyou all! that tree is at the park where I walk my dogs most days. It's obviously dead, and has been for many many years. It's gradually loosing branches and I suppose one day I'll go there and the tree will be down. It's right at the edge of a man made lake and it's well used by all sort of birds, pelicans, cormorants, ibis, parrots, lots. They will miss it when it's gone. I've taken a few pics of it over the years.
