A good story Richard! You caught the tension nicely - and framed the viewer's vulnerability.

long story... it came up fast and we were caught in the middle of the lake with high winds and rain and lightning strikes all around. praying was the order of the day because there was literally nothing we could do but wait it out an hope we survived. the thunder came at the same time as the lightning strikes, oh. it was a real hellish experience, one I would never want to repeat. We were soaked to the bone and had to change clothes once on shore. oh the camera bag and its contents were soaked completely but the E3 lenses survived nicely.

That would scare me to death! I hope this boat is docked so you can run in the house! A boat on water is like a lightening rod. Yikes! Wish that was my boat :o)

A wicked sky! Very dramatic shot.
