Skywatch Friday - Stormy weather

Thunder storms are rare in Port Elizabeth and when one hit the city a few nights ago I set up my tripod in the front yard and merrily clicked away, while the lightning flashed all around. It was mostly sheet lightning, but what a spectacular display, complete with sound effects.

I see that I have been off the blogging scene for a while now, but that is because I have been having my own flashes of inspiration and have been concentrating on writing my novel. I never realised that writing could be such fun, though it can also be frustrating when I hit a dry patch.
