Very cool. It’s pretty unusual to catch the return stroke rising from the ground.

Very nice. Something for my wish list. I’m bumping it up the list. Thanks.

Aw, Fred! That’s beautiful! It looks like a heart-shaped balloon on a curly string. Or a pretty flower on an odd stem, LOL! And you’re still getting the rainbow action going on, too. Great pix.

yeah got a rare photo there.
I recall seeing a similar one on the weatherchannel calendar some years ago.
It shows the bolt going upward.

Google "lightning leader" to see other pictures similar to yours.
You came very close to having a bolt of lightning hit just feet away from you. Very cool (and dangerous!).

Thanks. Beats hanging around waiting for another pic of Vesta.
To: bigheadfred
NASA plays ‘em a little too close to the Vesta, if you ask me.

Blame it on the moslem influence. That Holy Rock thing. And dreaming of Vesta Virgins.
