It's NOT the sun! Best viewed large! by marlboromaam

It's NOT the sun! Best viewed large!

I sat through three hours of thunder storms last night. No puter. No TV. Just my camera. So I had a little fun shooting slow timed shots out of my bedroom window, screen and all! The bright light is the security light on a tall pole behind the cedar tree. It would be totally dark without that light. Lots of rain drops on the branches, and my contribution to the "breaking the rules - glare" theme.
It's mysterious- it seems more like looking up than through. Nice.

It does look like the sun coming through indeed! How are things now at your side?

Nice! Great lighting

It looks like the sun! Great glare shot ... I like the glare circle above the light. Hope your beautiful property wasn't damaged by the storm! I sort of like storms and "disconnected" time from electricity, as long as it doesn't last too long! :)
