Description First real lightning shots of the season.

While I have other weather related photos from this year (I've gone after weather 5 times so far this year, to this date), I have not been able to capture any lightning.

Finally, though, I caught a break, and this storm produced a wide variety of lightning with very little rain. Of course, large amounts of rain can be seen off to the right and some in the center of the image, but only very little actually hit my location.

So far, so good.

Taken about 1 mile East of the Pittsburgh International Airport, overlooking the Airport.

What's that to the right? Looks like the lightning is coming off the ground. I never knew that was part of the lightning bolt sequence .____.

Hence the title of the image ^.^

It's also known as Positive Lightning.
