Thunderstorm over Wooly's Bluff

















Taken last night at the end of the Arrowhead Trail at McFarland Lake.  We were hoping for clear skies to try some star trail photography over the lake, but with the forecast calling for rain we knew it wasn't a good chance of clear skies.  On the other hand, we knew that with the forecast being what it was there was a possibility of seeing some lightning if the thunderstorms that were forecast arrived early enough.  Sure enough, not long after we arrived at the lake it was very cloudy and we saw some lightning flashes across the lake.  Before long we were seeing lightning bolts coming down on the far shore.  It made for a fun show for about an hour, then the rain came and we had to pack up our gear.
