It's neat how two cool natural phenomena can occasionally combine to become even cooler. Today, while walking home from work, a thunder storm had rolled in enough to cover all of the sky overhead, but not enough to block the western horizon. So all the buildings around me were lit up a bright orange-red by the setting sun, against a backdrop of steel clouds lit by continuous flashes of lightning. Quite the view.
On a related note, I'm intrigued by the fact that I can see lightning that looks like it's above and all around me, but not hear thunder until several seconds later, as if it's far off.
What can I say... I'm a sucker for thunder storms.
