Description
A nexus of lightning crackles to my northeast some 5-6 miles away in the early AM of Sept. 10, 1994 after the temperature reached to 104 F the previous day. Yes, these did spark grass fires.Related content

What a beauty of a storm!
High temps are always must for great lightning. It's a bit of give and take

Cooler temperatures at night can make good lightning too, but it is so much very occasional. Sadly, just "flicker-flash" stuff. When I took this picture, the high temp. the previous day was 104 F. So, I had a "turkey shoot" here of lightning that night -- one shot after another. Thanks for the comment!

Did you take this in person? It's what I would call "the perfect moment"

But of coarse. I had a "turkey shoot" of lightning that night. I think I have at least a dozen more from then stored in my lightning folder in this old computer.

Well it's amazing. It's not everyday that you can get a picture like that.

A person usually gets 1-2 big bolts at a time (with "x" amount of side branches), not often this much at all.

Thanks. That's part of how good photography works.
