Lightning in Cape Town

March 8th, 2010

During the course of this morning, you may have been subject to some excited Capetonians recounting tales of the enormous electric storm we had last night. Please do take these with a pinch of salt as Cape Town does not really know what a electric storm looks like. Our storm last night consisted of about three bolts of lightning and I managed to capture them all with my little Kodak, so here they are in case you missed it (which wouldn’t be surprising).

*Update – Here are some better pictures, shot from the same location, but in the opposite direction. Found via 2oceansvibe.

    Hey thanks Nikola :)

    Mike bru, it’s Devil’s Peak. My camera is that little Kodak Z760. Ja, just aimed in the direction of the most lightning, left the shutter open for a few seconds at a time and left it to luck!
