Lightning Strikes Over Shingle Street, Suffolk

After thirty six days on the road, I have finally returned home (thank heavens my sat nav remembered where I live as I'd almost forgotten, ha, ha). So here's a newly edited image from the 10,000 photos that I took.

I visited Shingle Street in Suffolk a couple of weeks ago and no sooner had I stepped onto the pebbled beach, the heavy clouds rolled over me and before long, the almighty roar of thunder filled the air while the odd lightning bolt illuminated the sky.

Standing on an open beach of shingle, the clattering sound of the stones underneath my feet, could not compete with the drama that was taking place overhead. Fast paced clouds grew ever darker and the whole place took on a really menacing feel, especially as I was more than aware that I was exposed to the weather above, especially the lightning strikes.

However, the scene drew me in and before long I was firing off so many images in the hope of capturing a strike or two and before long, I struck lucky. This scene is looking straight out over the ocean from the beach and the energy that filled the air was electric (quite literally). I cannot wait for the big summer thunderstorms to roll on in to entertain me at night.
