108 - Patience

Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it's not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way. The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won't. it's whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere. Barack Obama
This image was one of a very many 20 second exposures, no special lightning capture equipment just patience.

J.L.T. You are wonderful, your work is wonderful, thanks sooooo much
Kevin, Thanks, not a stitch, just to much sky and water for my taste.
I like the pano crop. I think it works very well. The elements left in the frame are very nicely balanced. I like how the lightning bolt is next to the dark landform - the contrast is perfect and makes a great focal point for the photo.
The man-made stuff in the left side works very well too, and provides interest and balance to the scene.
Anyway, great job here! I'd love to see this printed out large, like 12x36".
i was researching 'svadhyaya'for the written part of my yoga teachers training course when i came to your blog.
for the first time in my life i am finding words for ideas and processes that i have struggled with for years.
i find myself growing and connecting in strange, non-linear ways. and trusting those connections.
thanks for the beautiful thoughtful images, and insightful quotes.
namaste,
nick
i really love this picture.
