Wonderful lightning and thunder was around. I had to lay flat down on the (wet) ground to take this, it was huge, and rapidly growing. The light wasn't in the best conditions, and because of the fast growth, didn't really have time to try different exposures.

Answer to my luckiness;
Yes, lucky, but I was running all over the shore (madly) for at least 2 hours. So the luck came with being ready also.
It was a superbly fast changing, amazing, wild sky that day. So many photos taken, and I turned my back always to see a different stunning sky! Yep, I was lucky:))

Because;
-Invites without comments
-Award codes without comments
-And because of these I couldn't read the REAL comments in all that clutter,
especially due to the Flickrs New Page.

And I thank to every one who did write something,
really it made me happy to see so much..
