With a spectacular electrical storm outside, I elected to post some stunning pictures of lightning from around the world.
Main picture: A rare and beautiful type of lightning, positive lightning can be significantly more powerful than the far more common negative lightning. Often known as ‘bolts from the blue’, positive lightning can appear several miles from the center of a thunderstorm, as can be seen in this photograph on the Bahamas coastline.
