Lightning Strike over Skiathos

A storm started to rumble across from the Greek mainland towards Skiathos at around 00-30 this morning, i patiently waited to get this shot at about 01-10, well, there was music playing and drink flowing with good conversation thrown in, so the wait wasn't a hardship..........

Skiathos town is very brightly lit by all of it's street, restaurant, and residential lights, but the lightning strike and stars are still clearly visible. The storm never made the jump from Skiathos to where we are on Skopelos, and was all over and done with by 01-25, i think we finally crashed out at about three am.
