Sunset Lightning

Here's an image from Spring 2012 for #SunsetDay !
I was capturing the development of this cloud in a time-lapse video, so you can see the development of this cloud and storm from before sunset until well after dark. This is one image from that sequence.  Here's a link to the completed time-lapse video: https://plus.google.com/107459220492917008623/posts/ZUuVoELmnJR
It was assembled from thousands of shots take from 7:27pm – 9:45pm as the storm formed. I switched at that point to star shots to capture the Lyrid meteor shower. I haven't added that footage yet, but that will extend the timelapse sequence to 2:35am!
