O how I love the deck that wraps around our home, especially in the summer. We have some of the most wicked thunder storms every summer. We have the second highest lightning strikes in the US with Florida being the highest.
Pretty much every day around 2:00pm the thunder storms roll in over the mountain range. As the summer goes on the thunder storms get later in the the day and usually finish up around 7:00pm.
One of our favorite summer activities is the sit on the deck and watch the God's awesome lightning show. Until it gets too close for comfort and we head inside and watch it from a safer location!!
We have had the lightning hit a little to close and has brought us ducking for cover even in the safety of our home!! It has made our windows shake and we have lost a few TVs since we have lived here. We have learned to go around the house and unplug everything each afternoon.
My hubby loves to set up his tripod on the deck and click away. He has caught some amazing shots!!
Please stop by Lisa's blog and enjoy many more B&W's from some talented photographers!

My husband and I love to watch lightening storms. We turn all the lights off in the house and just stare out the window in silence. We have never been as close as you are in those pics. Super great shots!
These pictures are amazing! I love storms too. I never get tired of watching thunder and lightening storms.
WOW! Those are some amazing shots!
I need to give black and white a try.

I think you really captured the beauty by converting them to b&w. They truly are amazing. I live in So. Florida and experience crazy lighting storms during the summer too. I might just have to experiment this summer with my camera.
Thanks for sharing!

I share your love of lightening, and have always looked at it as one of God's most awesome shows!!! These photos are SO COOL! Great job by your hubby! :)
Those are awesome! You need to print one up on a canvas and hang it somewhere.
Amazing!!! You can't deny there is a God when you see these.

Fabulous! We don't often get shows like that... but when we do they are spectacular. (And best when they are over the ocean...)
These are AMAZING shots! I love how you captured nature's powerfulness. Stunning!

How is everything going? Any new news yet or new updates?
Oh my gosh, these are sooo cool! I can't wait for summer when I can try and get some shots like those. I love a good thunderstorm even if I am afraid a tree is going to fall on my house. This year instead of camping out in the basement, I'll be setting up my tripod on the deck ;)
Awesome!
Oh my gosh! That is spectacular! I hope you were grounded while you stood out there with your camera! ;)
