it is lightning over Adelaide looking down from Mount Osmond. It was taken in December 2006 and featured on the following nights news broadcast.

I remember that storm – you’ve captured it so well, you can almost see the ionization in that blue-on-blue near the lightning itself. Any wonder it was included in the Channel Ten Weather Calendar! A magnificent shot. It doesn’t completely rely on nature – you were there to witness it!
