Day 199, Year 2 - Armageddon In Canterbury

Last week saw more crazy weather in London and around the UK and none more so for me than on Friday night whilst filming the cricket. It started as a baking hot day, bit crazy for rigging cameras but no complaints from me, and the game started well with lovely conditions. Then out of nowhere, and not forecast the sky turned. And it turned bad...! The clouds rolled in and it was like something out of the movie Twister. There was one moment where the wind suddenly came out of nowhere and we were really having to hold on to our cameras. The game was, halted and eventually called off but in that 25 minutes or so of waiting for the referees official decision I was able to grab my Fuji and shoot some photos, and managed to get my first shot of actual lightening.
