During the months of November - February, the East Bay of San Francisco can experience what is known as Tule Fog, which is a dense, thick radiation fog that originates in the Central Valley of California, and blows over the hills in the East Bay, from east to west. Tule fog is a regional type of valley fog, spotted here near Oakland, California, US.

Hi Rebecca it was taken like the other on 9/9/2013 but 11minutes later at 1831 precisely according to the RAW file info. Yes very complex but from another view it may unravel to something simpler. Such is the nature of lightning. Now why does it follow the path it does. For that reference books are required. I have ‘The Lightning Flash’ from what was the IEE (Institution of Electrical Engineers) but the majority of it is very mathematical. Maybe dusting it off would be a good move.

Another spectacular, mid-spring lightning storm picture in the evening over the Bahama Islands, Mike!
The lightning, which looks like twisted, tree-branched fingers reaching out across the sky, though the dark-blue coloured Caribbean sea in the foreground appears calm!
