Wow! Knock my socks off! I am so fascinated by lightning and yet Im so scared of it. I love to look at the winding trails. Especially that large fat one that loops like a lariat. The colors here are amazing and the reflection on the water just astounding. Talk about the right place at the right time! This is definately my 10!
