This is not my work and I cant travel that far that fast. If I could do that I would enter myself in the speed challenge :-) This image was shot within the last few days and so I am told was the most violent electrical storm in the last 100 years. I was sent this by a friend that was there, and asked if I could post it for feedback. I hope this is ok, if it is not then please let me know and I will remove it.

Great capture!

oops typo "Sydney" my appologys

This is great! Bsteph

incredible capture! Very difficult to capture the speed of lightening!

Sydney has some spectacular Storms....did Your Friend tell You...they were Snow Boarding On Hail Stones at Bondi Beach? Well, they were..in the last couple of Day's...Roofs collapsed with the shear weight of the Hail Stones... a great photo here :]

Wow Simon... fantastic capture.

I think this may have been photographed from the Double Bay area...40 Years back...at Night, when living rough in a Park...I used to Swim out to Yachts, with a Friend...break-in...and steal Food...then Swim ashore...I was oblivious to the Danger, as One just doesn't Swim here. The Harbor looked different then...and the Film "Jaws" had not been made..now, I am nervous in the Bath...and will not Swim in the Sea. Do Do Do Do Do Do!

My friend said something about the hail, and that it done allot of damage, the only thing about this image is that I didnt shoot it myself. Im not that keen about swimming in the sea my self maybe because it is Eskimo cold here and it reaches the parts other seas do not reach if ya know what I mean! :-)
