Congratulations Humungus with winning Challenge # 39.

To me it was quite clear from the beginning that there only could be one winner.
Your Lightning picture was the ultimate in showing the brutal and beautiful force of the weather.:thumb

Congratulation also to all 159 Dgrinners who voted.
A new record !
:clap

Bye,
Peter Dumont

    Excellent! A unique and dangerous shot. Hard to capture, and well executed.

    Thankyou everyone...as i mentioned in the other thread...if that storm hadnt just waltzed on in...then the cupboard was bare.

    I considered weather a hard subject (excluding my shot as it was a 'chance shot') & was rather impressed with what everyone else came up with.

    Gotta love stuff that falls randomly from above & can do damage without any lawyers getting involved.

    Gus

    NOW can i get rid of those 2 dust spots that are driving me crazy looking at it !!

    We have just today signed up to move to a new place up high right next to this bridge...& (not my shot) i mean you could actually hit it with a rock from the balcony. The bolt on the left is hitting the other end...... bring on summer.

    I have a great view of it all. And guess what Sid ? I now have air-cond & a pool for the next summer lol3.gif

    Is the weather that good there that you don't need an air conditioner?
