 This was so much fun to shoot! I must have counted about 30 lightning strikes every minute. It was EXTREMELY active night with lightning. Took about 60 or so picture before my camera died on me and out of all of them, this is what I liked best.

Remarkable! Some might have issues with the darkness of the pier. But this is wonderful!
