Lightning storm

[Peter BuxtonParticipant @peterbuxton35723]

I was hoping to glimpse this myself too, but all clouded over in Belper, Derbyshire 😧

Shame because I got some nice shots of a beautiful sunset yesterday.

I'll upload one when I figure out how, blxxdy modern technology ARRGH!

Lots of high level lightning last night here in South Norfolk.

16mm rain, at last.

Geoff – Much cooler today compared to the 35° yesterday!

[Ian S CParticipant @iansc]

I missed it, but the eclipse in NZ was a bit rare (they gave it a name last night on TV), it was (when not obstructed by cloud), visible just as the sun rose to the east, and the moon set to the west, At my latitude it lasted about 4 minutes.

I see colder weather is coming to northern places.

Eclipse – South east of Melbourne – Didn't get the lot and not the ideal camera gear.

These taken at about 05:30

Sam

See my album for a bit more detail.

By heck Sam, you seem to have your camera upside down

Being antipodean, he would, wouldn't he, compared to us little Englanders?

First cloudy night here in the south of France for two or three weeks

Well it just goes to show Neil, that the earth is, indeed flat, double sided, and not very thick.

Having made the (antipodean) trip a few times, it's a bit scary as the plane flips over the edge.

I couldn't resist doing one of those multi-exposure pictures.

Photoshop of six (video snapshot) images.

Nothing to write home about, but fun to play with.

Expected top temperature in Melbourne today … a sweltering 14 degrees (that's C folks)

Found a piccy of the Edinburgh stuff

The lightning seems to be actually crawling around the cloud and that was why there were no ground strikes as it went overhead

non stop too, like a gigantic van de graff generator light show

… and very nicely, too.

The Moon was completely obscure, here on the dark side
