lightening over Dubrovnik by northy

lightening over Dubrovnik

The weather while we were in Croatia was relentlessly hot and sunny. There was one night though, while we were in Dubrovnik, where there was a torrential electrical storm. Had a lovely view into the old city from our hotel and since the thunder had woken me up, I figured I might as well take the opportunity to see if i could catch some lightening... my first ever opportunity :)

Posting this for the "what can you see in the dark" challenge...

the challenge start date is August 24th... i know the EXIF says this was taken on the 23rd, but you have to add 6 hours for the time difference as i never updated my camera, so this was actually taken on the 24th...

Thanks for all the lovely comments and favs on my travel shots... i still have ooodles to get thru... really hoping i don't bore you!
