Thunder
Posted by Eleftheria (Athens, Greece) on 12 December 2008 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.
I am so proud of this photo! I have waited for half an hour out there... It's difficult to "catch" a thunder...
I was born on November 18th, 1998 and I am a girl from Greece :-) Thank you for your comments!
-- SORRY, I HAVE NOT MUCH TIME TO VISIT EACH ONE OF YOU EVERYDAY...A LOT OF HOMEWORK... -- :o)

Maxine from Rangiora, New Zealand
Hehehe you should be proud Elefteria, it is sooo difficult to catch thunder and lightening. You have succeeded well with the ominous darkness only being lit by the streak of lightening! Were you outside waiting ? how cold was it? and did you get wet?
12 Dec 2008 8:28pm
@Maxine: Thanks Maxine! Yes, i was outside on one side of road with my dad, my mom and brother were waiting in the car. My dad didn't catch it, it was not so cold, the're was not rain, this thunder was far away.
@Marcah: Thanks!

Les from Lincoln, United States
Great job!! I know the feeling about waiting. Not necessarily for a bolt of lightning, but rather a hummingbird. I sat on my deck for about half an hour waiting for one to return. I'm quite proud of the photo I got. Patience is a virtue! :)
