Apparently there was a storm last night - did anyone see it?

May as well join the party.

I couldn't be bothered going outside to take these photos, so just took them through our bedroom window - hence the water on the window (and no, the camera/tripod is not permanently set up in the bedroom! :twisted: ).

I like the first one. I think the pattern in the drops on the window glass really adds to the effect.

Thanks guys - I never comment on my own photos, but the reason I prefer the first is that it seems (to me) to almost have a 3D effect, in that the upper portion of the lightning seems to be coming towards me before turning down towards the ground.

I agree Patrick I really like the 3D affect give by the glass and rain drops.. it also looks a little scifi, like there is a gravitational pull near the top drawing the drops (or asteriods to the source of power).

Thanks Craig, although it sounds like you have been watching too much Futurama? :lol:

While I've seen it, there are a lot of other Sci-fi's I prefer, Dr Who being a childhood favourite.. (A Police phone box in flight wouldn't look too our of place in this shot). :)
