Description
Sometimes, luck is on your side....
I was driving home the other night...and I pulled over to watch the approaching thunderstorm. I grabbed the camera and luckily managed to capture two shots that show a bolt of lightning that appears to hit a small farm building (In actuality, the bolt struck the ground behind the building).
This is the first, and I think better of the two....I will post the other tomorrow.
