On Monday, I decided to go to high ground lookinjg across a valley in the hope of catching some lightning.... I am sad to report... I missed....

All I can say is.... HAVE YOU ANY IDEA HOW BLOODY HARD IT IS?!?!?!?!?!

Apart from getting deafened by a huge thunder crack right over my head (I did pooh myself slightly). This was followed by a torrential slashing it down session. It was enjoyable tho, because of the high octaine weather scaring the crap out of me!

But I did manage to capture the calm before, and after the storm!

This one is pre-storm

These two are post storm

Last night I was also out all night star gawking, and these came out.

This is the constellation Cygnus

The Moon and Jupiter

You can't have any regrets with a "miss" like that the mood is captured beautifully in the pre-storm image, the 2 post storm have gorgeous colouring too

Those pre- and post-storm pictures - wow, wow, WOW!!!! And you did manage to get a storm picture even if that great red spot on Jupiter is only a fraction of a pixel in the last picture .

And please send some lashing rain down south. Water butts are only useful if there's occasional rain to top them up... .
