There’s nothing like a perfect-conditions lightning storm to compel me to pickup the camera from the bottom of the closet and blow the dust off. I spent some time taking photos ON the railway track before I realised that probably isn’t very smart during an electrical storm so I moved aside. This is a combination of two frames merged as HDR (High Dynamic Range). The second frame had the sign lit by a passing car’s headlights which makes the whole photo seem very evenly illuminated, though I was standing in near pitch darkness.
