  • George Lenz

    George Lenz

    is this the one you said was close to you

  • Daniel J. McCa... replied

    No, this wasn’t very far away but not one of the strikes where I didn’t even see the bolt because the strike lit up the sky so much. I’ll post it soon I think.
    I did post “Night Turns Into Day” where a strike landed right behind me – much too close, enough to offer real color in a night shot.
