Slightly different CC on this one, less red. Also, your goofy size destroyed my framing. :kali:

Beautiful. Reminds me of the magnificent thunderstorms we use to have, where I grew up.

Here in LA, thunderstorms - *real* ones worthy of the name - are practically nonexistent.

Well... but we have earthquakes. :undecided

 

[Sad Max]

A poor substitute.

A poor substitute.

True. I grew up in Miami, FL. I remember looking out the window and watching the thunderstorms. I remember how cool it was when there was lightning without rain.

 

[Sad Max]

Usually a sign that Martians are on the way.

 

[Tom Marshall]

No, that's lightning without thunder...

 

[Sad Max]

Yeah, I always mix those up.
