I was driving on Gallatin Road to the art supply store for canvas and paints, saw neat storm clouds so whipped out the camera and took a shot out the front windshield. The wind was really gusting and so about the time I hit the shutter release, a power line decided to blow sparks! I was about 50-75 feet away from it when it arced and popped! Almost soiled my skivvies, but I did at least get some of the action. Jack

Cool shot!!! Oh, and I thought shops painted like that were done especially for films to stereotype you guys. Didn't realise you were really that tacky ;-) Next thing we know the Canadians will be telling us they don't live in igloos.... he he he (",)

Wow! That had to been very frightening. Have to say I've never seen that happen in real life, though I've heard about it. Have to admit that was a lucky shot, even so.
