I posted the pic on Aug. 5 ... but I edited it today, Aug. 6. In stead of playing on the "Lightning doesn't strike in the same place twice" idiom, I went for the "Lightning in a bottle" reference. Seems much more apt to me!
And, I wanted to haiku:
From the sky to film
I caught all its majesty
Lightning is deadly
And, to wrap this edit up: I heard as a child that more people are struck by lightning in a year than are drafted into the NBA. Seems to me that those folks are the ones that caught lightning in a bottle, eh?
The only thing that bothers me about this pic is all the light pollution! What an ugly, ugly world we live in when there's an NASTY orange glow at night. Yuck!
Below is the original Aug. 5 post -
So, it's been a while since I updated my blog... sorry 'bout that!
I had to run to my blog though and tell it to the whole world. I caught lightning on film! It's only taken me some 13 years but I did it! I went to a movie on Saturday night (Talladega Nights) and when I left the theater, I saw a lightning storm over the Oquirrh Mountains to the east of Salt Lake City. So, I went up to the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon and took open-shutter pics for like an hour... before I got the one I posted here! I'm so excited!
So, the picture is looking north at downtown Salt Lake City. The high rise buildings of downtown are to the left of the pic while the lights under the lightning strike is where the University of Utah is located!
Yeah for me!
Nothing new here... but only nine days until The Simpsons: Season Eight is released on DVD. Celebrate!!
