Great Lighting shot, but not the very best that I have seen on Thai Visa

I think that most submissions will be Thai related anyway, no need to make it a rule. As it is now it gives more members the opportunity to join in the fun. The first run through the alphabet went well with some great shots posted, so I think just leave things as they are.

It was my first attempt at shooting lightning, beginners luck maybe. Expect to see more when the storms start to roll in.

Maybe upon request Thaivisa could grant those that need it a little extra storage space...
