Who has turned on the light?

Magically the darkness turns into light... it's always so fascinating!

Magnificent! I clicked on your "exif" to find out your settings but they don't show up. I tried to capture one when on an airplane and failed miserably.

Thank you such for your lovely comments! This was my first electrical storm and it was, as @joysabin suggested me, spark-tacular!
I used my camera (I usually shoot with my mobile phone) and having no idea about how to set it up for the event and having not enough time to search on the web, I opted for the automatic mode... As asked by @jyokota these are the settings: f/2.8, 1/4, ISO 400, 7,1 mm (I used piscart to crop the image a bit and this program saves my images without the settings)...
I made several attempts and finally decided to use the continuous shooting button and to start to shoot after I heard a thunder, focusing the point where the thunder seemed to come from... In conclusion, I was really lucky! ;)

Thanks a lot! It was dark outside and these flashes in the sky have made of the show somenthing really impressive!
After a while, my husband had to pull me inside, cause I was so enchanted that I didn't even realize that it has started to rain! ;)
