It’s no secret that I can’t stand the winter.   Granted there are times when it’s kind of fun to be indoors when there’s a blizzard.  Hell there are those times when a tree is covered in snow and you think you’re looking at something out of a Robert Frost poem (what movie is that line from?)

But all in all I’m not a fan of stormy weather.  And one thing you generally don’t see in winter is lightning.   If there’s one element to any storm that I enjoy it’s got to be lightning.  Granted I don’t want to be anywhere near it but seeing it is pretty badass.

Which is why I collected some awesome lightning pictures for you to peruse after the jump….
