It did look promising for a while though the storm split and drifted inland and out to sea. Still managed to land this bolt at a guess, hitting Chevron Island just west of Surfers Paradise.

Great one mate – looks like it’s hitting the bridge!

good one mate, great image – storm didn’t really amount to much though did it! cheers Paul
I was walking the dog near sunset when the sky was orange and pink, saw some decent strikes off in the distance. The Cooly on Friday night went off. Still finishing up processing Suicidal Tendencies.

great shot…..are you by chance a lightning magnet???
Law of averages, well I could get struck one day. I sort of cheated with this but it’s not a manipulated image. Was testing out my New toy.
