A Storm Ripping through the Valley
I figured just about the worst place to stand in a lightning storm was a gigantic old tree. So, of course, I doubled those odds by erecting a metallic tripod at the base to capture the moment… sorry mom…

Yeah I try to take some lightning photos and it always freaks me out when I see it hit so close, but it keeps your heart pumping!

Cool picture. I did a similar silly thing with my tripod. The storm was almost over, but there was still lighting around.
