Electrons On The Rumble

NightThunderstorm

Yet again, I’m absent for a little while, thanks to a full writing workload and a full-time week of dayjobbing (an unhappy combination, frankly).

In other news, my coffee consumption has never been healthier. That’s healthy in the volumetric sense, not the My Body Is A Temple variety.

If you came here to read something and now feel cheated, how about this post on lightning I’ve written elsewhere?

If you are caught on a golf course during a storm and are afraid of lightning, hold up a 1-iron. Not even God can hit a 1-iron.

- Lee Trevino

A note on the piccy, the stunning work of OneEighteen – it’s a “bolt from the blue”, one of the most dangerous forms of lightning there is.

    Am swooning at that photo. Cor. Etc. See? (Am being Britishly understated, in a swoonified sort of way)

      Purrty, isn’t it?

      That’s one of the great things about Flickr nowadays. Not only are there some truly stunning photos out there, but the photographers are kind enough to put their low-res versions up under a Creative Commons license – ie. folk like me can reuse them in their blog posts, as long as we put a link to the Flickr page.

      And as this photo demonstrates, there are some very good photographers doing this.

    I agree. That guy takes phenomenal photos. He deserves to be immortalized.

    BTW – Love the Trevino quote.

      I completely agree, Lou. I’d go as far as to say he’s a genius.

      If only I knew who he was, behind the nickname.

      Do you have any ideas?

      ;)
