Thank you Ginnie and Joan.
This does it!! A most magnificent lightning photo I’ve seen! Yes, it should make next year’s calendar and the “Cloud of the Month” as well. The colors are truly electric blue. Oh, my.
I agree with you, Laurence. This is definitely a calendar-worthy photo. Bravo, Paul.
Thank you Michael and Laurence.
A to be expected typical grand shot from you, Paul.
This is a big “WOW!!!” photo. I would ascribe the following in appreciation of your magnificent photo:- astounding, atmospheric, awe inspiring, electric (pun intended!), powerful and truly memorable, Oh, GEEZ!!!
Maybe, who knows, this marvellous photo might possibly be a good candidate to feature in the CAS 2018 calendar?
Thanks for the sharing of this wonder.
Laurence
