Roodeplaat, Pretoria-10 December 2025
It has been a while since I got the time to do some lightning photography.
This year was challenging, to say the least. It was very much stormy, like last night and the nights before.

One thing I learned again this year is that time is precious and is not refundable.

So, use time wisely. Do the things that you enjoy, the things that make you smile.

Here are shots from my "front garden storm chase" taken last night.

"Here be Dragons..."
My son reckons these mammatus clouds we saw yesterday, look like the scales of a passing Dragon.
