The forecast was right for a change - we did have (actually, are having) thunderstorms tonight! *vbg*

And then this isn't a great picture, because it was on a hand-held long-exposure camera phone, but it began to rain as I took the lightning vid (obv. not photos!) and I went in - I popped out a while later though, and the skies had cleared enough for the moon to come out, shining on the track up the hill, surrounded by dramatic clouds - and then lightning flashed again, on the other side, and I'm pretty sure that's the pink you can see in this pic. *vbg*

I came in again to finish off some Job 2 prep and head to bed - and the storm is ongoing. It quietened down, but in fact it must have circled around, because there was lightning over the cow shed side of the house a few minutes ago - sheet lightning this time, where the yard was lit up in that amazing electric blue as I watched... I should have been in bed an hour ago, but I do love a storm, even a relatively gentle one like this one... *g*

Ghostly galleon? Check. Cloudy seas? Check. Ribbon of moonlight? Check.

Fantastic photo, impressive! Wonderful combination — night, moon, dramatic clouds and the lightning. On that point a thrilling story- perfect! But you had to work :(
Thanks for sharing :-)

Thank you! It was such a gorgeous night, in so many ways!

I'm just starting my annual Job 2, and it's the bit that overlaps with Job 1 a bit, so... but it's okay — it'll be nice to take a break from Job 1! *g*

I hope you're doing okay!

Thanks - it was fun trying to catch them (even trying to catch the pics on the vid that I took of it - so hard, even slowed down!)

Hee Heathcliff!
