This is today's sunset as seen from my balcony. It was a hot and humid day but as the night sets in it gets colder rather quickly.
Last night the sunset sky was overcast, edges of clouds taking on shades of pink and salmon. Then a thunderstorm rushed in very quickly and it turned dark in a few minutes. There was a lot of lightning and thunder but not much rain.
I've been trying to capture a lightning flash on camera for a while but with no success. They come too erratically and unpredictabely to be able to point the camera in a certain direction and wait for the discharge. I have also tried tripod and longer exposures from the safety of my balcony but again, no luck. I'll get it one day, though...

Beautiful my friend. I love it. I couldn't imagine getting a lightning flash. That would be hard to do. I do hope you get one. We get lightning here so infrequently that it's almost impossible here.
Gorgeous sunset. I love thunderstorms. I caught a couple with the video function on my camera.
thom - well, the funny thing is, i know some people who haven't the slightest about photography and yet have managed to capture spectacular lightning on camera... sigh
nerssa - in general, i love dramatic weather :)
