| Lightning Eclipse from the Planet of the Goats (June 18, 2011) |
On June 15th there was a lunar eclipse spanning over Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia, during which occurred a thunderstorm that was passing over Greece. There were lightning strikes that occurred and were captured on a 30 second exposure.
The name comes from the island that it was taken on: the Greek island of Ikaria at Pezi, which translates to "the planet of the goats."
What captivated me about this picture was the harsh, bright lightning bolts juxtaposed with the darker sky where the stars are peeking through the clouds. Nature is a curious thing!
