A fellow lightning-photo-nerd! We get that stuff here in Az too. Looking forward to the Monsoon season is about all that keeps me semi-sane through the relentless heat of May and June.

Yeah Tuscon is on my bucket list.... I remember reading about a guy who grew up there and the fun he had chasing storms - some of his shots were jaw dropping. It has perfect weather/geography for thunderstorm formation due to all the moist air that funnels up over the mountains from the Gulf of Mexico.....that and Darwin are the two lightning capitals of the world.



I am heading up to a solar eclipse in Cairns 2012....hoping to get to Darwin during that trip and spend some time up there at the start of the wet season chasing storms.



Cheers Digger

I love my family, friends and partner.....I dont give two ..... about Casey Stoner as I dont personally know him and couldnt care less if he retired tomorrow. I am also not the slightest bit interested in getting to know him outside the racetrack.



He IS without doubt the best road racer in the world at present and I love watching him ride a bike to the limit....but thats all I care about. You seem far more intereted in "personalities" than I will ever be. The cult of celebrity holds no fascination for me.

Humor Fail



Now, let me see if this makes sense. I mean, yeah, we can claim anything we want buddy, but what really transpires on the board? Though you say, and others claim, not giving two ..... about Casey, you guys sure argue a grip to defend his personality. I should know, as I've been at the center of you guys going postal on me over comments about Stoner's personality. I suspect if you really didn't give two ..... you wouldn't always be in the mix and getting butt hurt when people call out minor talking points. I suppose Mental can claim he's a Rossi fan, but it wouldnt quite jive now would it? Stop kidding urself buddy, u care an awful lot about him beyond his ability to ride a bike.



BTW Nice pics dude. That's amazing stuff. You got about as much talent as Casey.

You and i need to get a beer. My thoughts exactly on family, Casey Stoner , celebrity fascination and the world in general.

By the way, the pictures are to put it bluntly, amazing. Some real talent going on there.
