Gunn Point - NT
A thunderstorm rapidly maturing over the western top-end of Australia. It violently throws lightning bolts out the side of the updarught from 30,000ft high, landing them some 20km’s from the actual storm…The rumbles are clearly audible from amidst the silence of this ‘crocodile’ looking estaury and beach.
EOS A2, Fuji Velvia 50.

thanks everyone for your wonderful comments !
Mel – it certainly is alluring that’s for sure, but I must say you live in an area with more severe storms and that are more ‘accesible’ :)
