Title: Photo of Lightning Strike
Post by: Laughlinguy on Jan 23, 06, 11:56:03 AM
 I need your help people. Somewhere on this site there is a picture of a lightning strike landing down in a valley, as seen from a road above. (WW looking down on Phelan maybe?)
 The pic was taken at the exact time of the strike. (The whole area is lit up)
 I need to know where I can find it on the WWcalif.com site. (I admit it, I wasn't paying attention {NEGATIVE KARMA})
 The reason is because I change backgrounds on my computer on a weekly basis (just to keep it fresh) but, I can't now, because I don't want to lose this GREAT SHOT!!

Someone help?!?  Love ya lots

                             p.s. Heck of a Photo!!!!!

Go to "search" at the top of the page and put in "lightning."
There are several lightning photos.

Its on that link I provided (2 posts ago). And, I think the version of that photo that does appear on WWCalif.com is even better, as it shows two strikes at the same time (and not cropped as much as the photo on w7ftt)

You're right Bob C, I didn't scroll far enough on the page to see it.

OK,  that's it,  you people are the BEST!!!

  First of all, thanks to Bob C, the hyperlink you gave me was the one, (Skywatching Reply # 318, Gypsywolf snagged one HECK of a picture of the Kitt Peak observatory) but, it was actually the picture before. Reply # 317. That's the one!!!!

  Secondly,  much Karma to Nolena; it never even occurred to me to put "lightning" into the WW search. I feel like such a dufus, (doofis?) How the heck do you spell...ok never mind.
Live and Learn, if you're lucky, you get to live, if you're REALLY lucky, you get to do both!

Last, but certainly not least, Wrightwood and all of the "admins" of the site, I truly enjoy WWcalif.com more than I can ever express, and believe me, I can express!

   Love and Thanks again Dave.
