Once upon a time, it was a dark and stormy night and there was a camera in the window there was a flash a feeling of success, and a booom.
Actually I,t was a fairly quiet boom and it was most definitely not dark, the clouds were lit to a brilliant yellow color and the lightning was even brighter. still, I'm glad I finally took this picture I've been trying for almost a month
