Hi,

Today 20-08-09 some heavy thunderstorms on her way.

I decided to take the bike and ride to Kwadijk in the neighbourhood of Purmerend to watch the big thunderstorm wich was above the Ijselmeer/Markermeer.

And verry lucky to have 3 photo's with lightning on it.
( i make around 350 photo's in 30 minutes with my cam.)

Below you can find the results.

1: 19:48lt direction Volendam/Edam
Image

2: 20:09lt direction Monnickendam/Katwoude
Image

3: 20:16lt from cloud to cloud
Image

This was the best i could make of it.
I hope you enjoy it.
Grt,
Michel

No... it was made some time ago on board of a little two-seater, doing some sightseeing around Tilburg, when we met this storm. The picture was taken somehwere between Moergestel and Oirschot, camera pointed to the rear of the plane.
Take-off was already tricky because we had the max. allowed cross-wind. We just managed to get back before the storm hit us.
A nice experience though...

Grtz.
