I had originally dismissed this shot as a missed opportunity. I had to quickly find shelter as the rain started to come down from this storm- and the only shelter was an old dog kennel. The only view I had was through a 2 foot wide gap looking straight at this dead tree. I set up the tripod and kept shooting frames in the hope that I would get a strike just off to the side of the tree. When this bolt came down right in the middle I thought I had lucked out, but I kind of like the forks of lightning showing through the forks of the tree.
