Last summer here in Calgary, Alberta, we had an amazing thunder and lightning storm. I sat on my balcony — rather bravely because the lightning was flashing and the thunder was booming close by — trying to get a shot of one of the flashes of lightning. All I had to do was hold up my phone and take a pic and I would have an amazing shot of a flash of lightning. Right? Not exactly. I never did get a shot of the lightning, but I managed to get a photo of the top of a building a few blocks away. I showed my failed attempt to a few friends and they thought it was pretty cool, actually. The more I looked at it and thought about it, the more I had to agree, it is pretty cool. Call it “Lightning,” if you want, or just call it a happy accident, which is what it was.
Thanks for reading! See you soon.
