  • What a truly amazing set of photos! I live in an area in South Africa that has very high incidence of lightning strikes during the summer rainfall season and I think that lightning storms are just awesome! Thanks so much for sharing.

  • You have managed to capture some spectacular shots! Well done! I'm in Glendale, AZ & I do know the monsoon season but have yet to see it quite like this! I am usually inside & have to miss quite a bit of it with a 2 year old who's not so sure how she feels about thunder & lightning just yet.(more so the thunder) I have tried to capture some of it & was excited to get the very few that I have which in no way compare to any of yours! Mine look pathetic in that sense! LOL Nevertheless I was pretty excited to get them! Anyway, keep up the good work ~ I can't wait to see more!(through your lens for sure) Take care....Robbi

  • I just came back to say that I can't believe your photo was chosen POTD today when the whole album deserved recognition. This album definitely deserved Featured Album! Hopefully it will still get it! Leslie

  • This whole album deserves to be featured. It's impeccable. I'm a weather acolyte and just marvelled at many images within. I'd be happy just to capture a fraction of the phenomena and formations that you did. Kudos from Canada.

  • Just spectacular! Brought back memories of when I was a kid and we lived in Homestead, FL and I used to sit on the front stoop and watch the rotations in the storm clouds passing overhead. We saw several actual tornados during the 4-1/2 years we were down there. Scary, yet beautiful and awe inspiring, Mother Nature! Thanks for sharing. ~Nancy
