Shelter from the storm

I had a meeting this evening in Leeds - I was meeting a future BoneShaker model ((boneshaker illustration site.).

On the way the heavens opened and the fork lightening was all around. It was an amazing display of mother nature and not a little scary! I left the car and had to walk 2 minutes up the road to the meeting. 30 seconds after leaving the car the rain intensified even more and I sheltered under a bridge by the canal as the rain poured down in sheets. I wasn't going anywhere for a little while I thought and the scene was pretty beautiful. Luckily I had my tripod with me and shot a few long exposure shots off whilst the rain eased.

Now if the lightening had lit up the sky at this precise moment.... Now that would have been special
