Lightning - Kelso

[mikeyscope]

Summer's heatwave ends with thunderstorms throughout the UK ...here in Kelso was no exception with this night storm and dramatic lightning looking out beyond Poynder Park rugby ground.

Thank goodness for the waterproofing of the Pentax K5 body & lens!

Thanks guys!

Usually use a raincover even though tha camera is waterproof...only this time forgot it, a bit worrying seeing your DSLR camera & lens with heavy rain bouncing off it!

Pity I didn't fare so well in T-shirt, shorts & sandals ...(without socks!)
