Alida Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Wonderful, beautiful photos ! The intensity of the storms is quite intimidating, I must admit !!In the last photo I see a hand in the top middle, at the left side of the center lightning bolt, 'showing' upwards. I downloaded the photo and put a circle on, but don't know how to post the photo again ! Duh ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
