Welcome Back 2010!

This photo made its way into my favorites list because I actually visited Ellis Island in New York and saw The Statue Of Liberty up close, so, i can imagine how enormous and bright that long bolt of lightning might have looked like to the people on the island and even to people just looking in the islands general direction

This photo is my all time favorite, the photographer was just in the perfect position, and timed the shot just perfectly, to get a very close to perfect photo of natural selection in action.  7

This photo is one of my favorites because I can just imagine how crazy yet amazing it would be to actually be there and see this supercell thunderstorm up close.  The size of it is impressive enough but the different colors really complete the image.
