Now it's time for another Skywatch Friday entry. This time it's a triple-lighting strike from back in July, captured in a 34.5-second exposure looking north from my front yard. The streaks of light in the lower-right are the cars on a state highway.

Triple Lightning
First, thanks to the commenters on my last post, pointing out that the glass sculpture is by Dale Chihuly - I'm sure they're correct. Dina was the first to notice it, and Sylvia, Sonia, Lesley, Snap, Marilyn also figured it out; it's great what you can learn online.

I do love capturing lightning! With the exception of a couple of thunder-snowstorms, I'll probably have to wait until late in the springtime before we see more thunderstorms, but I've got several shots still to post.

I'm hopelessly behind reading, but I hope Sylvia and etc. told you about the Dale Chihually glass museum that you can go to next time hyou're in Tacoma.
Great capture! I have tried several times to photograph lightning, but we don't get it often enough to practice lots...

Stunning capture! And who doesn't love to see lightening from the safety of the monitor screen :O)
Wow, what a dramatic lightning!
Great shot!
Phenomenal picture! I love lightning and really appreciate those who capture it on film.
I wish I could do shots like that. Getting one strike is luck but capturing three is skill.
Cool photo and perfect shot for SWF!Have a nice weekend!
This is great.
This is great. I try to capture lightenings, but ususally fail.

I so love to take this kind of shot. But so afraid to do it. Thanks for sharing.

Lightning amazes me a lot :) You've captured them perfectly. Great work
really impressive and spectacular photos !!!!!!!
You were at the right and time for this shot. Also, you were fast, as it does not last long. This is amazing shot of three strikes.
Wow! Just great this picture of the triple-lighting strike! Well done!
Another of your fantastic lightning shots. I love them one and all.
Beautiful! We have the storms, but I just watch out the window and stay inside with the dogs.
