Raining well here at present, 5.5 degrees and dropping; rain has that 'hissing' sound, and smudges diagonally on the window, which tells me it's very cold rain. Also must be a bit of east in the southerly for it to contact that window-pane.

We had a couple of lightning flashes and thunder about 5 minutes ago in Glen Eden - Titirangi.
And lots of rain.
It's fuzzled out now.
Who put the LED's on the lightning arrestor ?

Awesome IC lightning photo.

I find that you can take excellent stills from your HD video camera, especially for lightning.
BTW HD video files take a long time to upload, even at 720
Who put the LED's on the lightning arrestor ?
