That's a lot of lightning in an 8 second span! Well done!

@Betty: We left shortly after this - but the lightning got even thicker believe it or not.
@Badlydrawnboy: Thank you - one of those you thought might be good when you looked at the screen but was even better than expected when I finally got home to have a look.

This is a wonderfully evocative shot. The great billows of black are especially striking (no pun intended).

@GJC: Thanks - it was a bit eerie in that the waves had almost stopped by this point.
Observing from West Cheshire, United Kingdom
Wonderful shot Bill, is the lighting discharging on the water, or is that land..?
