Description There was a thunder storm last night and I took some shots. I love lightnings, they seem very much like branches, roots or veins. Well actually most of the time I think about them the other way around: plants are lightnings.
This probably sounds confusing Anyway, for each photo the exposure time was 20-30 seconds. I'm sorry the landscape isn't more interesting but this is the view from my window...

i think what you said about this piece is very true, they do emulate the roots in soil. Disagreeing with your awesome observation wouldn't be fair LOL LOVE IT!!

Thank you
That makes me think that this similarity isn't a coincidence...

Wow, I NEVER get thunderstorms like that in Los Angeles. I'm really jealous (except for my deadly fear of lightning )

That's strange, I thought that the best storms are near the ocean..
It's not fear, it's survival instinct ^^

Well, we are in the desert, so we don't get very much normal rain. Thunderstorms are rare. I've seen one in the past year.

Beautiful photos! It's not easy capturing lightening, I've tried (and failed epically ) many times before >.<
To me they sometimes look like spiderwebs

If you have a good camera you can expose for a longer time. I used 30 seconds exposure; during that time, the camera caught all the lightnings. Otherwise, I can't imagine how you could photograph a lightning...
Spiderwebs? Interesting...

My brother has a good camera, but I have absolutely no idea how to use it, I'm hopeless with photography I'm just like 'What do all the buttons mean?!?! '
I noticed it one night when thunder woke me up, I looked out my window, it was like 3 am and I was half asleep but I could have sworn there was a spiderweb on my window until it disappeared a millisecond later and I realised it was lightening
