Had some serious storms move thru a week ago Saturday night. This is the result of a lightning strike on the second fairway at Spessard Holland Golf Course in Melbourne Beach, Florida. I always think about lightning hitting trees and structures but this particular strike is right in the middle of a fairway. The strike cut grooves into the grass in all directions from where it hit. It is serious business being out in a storm with lightning. Don’t expect it to miss you.
We were one of the very first people to ride this ride when Islands of Adventure first opened. Haven’t been on it since, you get really wet. With the temperatures in the 90’s and heat index above 100 it might be time to revisit it.
The small bird is there in the shadows on the right.
Really intense storm a few night ago. I’ve not see such lightning in a long time. Air to ground and air to air strikes all over the place. For all the thunder and lightning we didn’t get much rain. I was being the photographer and shooting what I could while the little voice in my head was suggesting that standing out on the driveway was not necessarily the smartest thing I’ve ever done. This was the night before the really amazing sunset that I’ve already mentioned. The African dust storm is due any day now. There may be some very intense sunrises and sunsets coming.
Last night we have a once every few years sunset. The clouds were right over us with clearing skies to the west. I see the face of an old man in this image. You may or may not see it but it’s there. One of those evenings were you don’t have to push the saturation may be even start to think about pulling it back. Took a bunch of shots of the end of the day. Expect a bunch of posts.
