All I can say is WOW! What an amazing long exposure shot of a thunderstorm on the other side of Lake Ontario. It is just simply stunning how beautiful something so violent in nature can actually be.

A regular night on the dock. With the great company of Bob and Val, We watched the sun set, then waited and waited. Then all of a sudden thunder and lightening storms came from all directions. We barely escaped off the dock when a fast storm with hurricane/tornado winds came. If we had waited an extra 20 seconds we would have be stuck on the dock and unable to see our way back due to the heavy downpour and winds.
