I really like that photo further down because it shows such a thin line of 
lightning on the left.  Seems very unusual, he must have just caught the 
beginning or end of it.

I heard about this on the radio this morning

What is most striking to me (pun intended) is that what is interesting 
about it is simply  the oddness of the event ... the fact that  - as a 
photo, it's _not_ so interesting.   The one farther down on the page, 
taken by Terrance James.. with the skyline and the array of lighting 
bolts, is much more pleasing asthetically and imparts the same 
information - that is the unusualness of two bolts simultaneously

Lucky spot, great timing (I question that it is more than
coincidental, lightning happens faster than human reaction) but the
image is to me spectacular only because of the fact depicted, not
because it is overly pretty imo.
