Prik Ki Nu

On our last night a Japamala we were awoken around 5am for a thundershower treat! We had seen and heared many thundershowers far off in the distance during our stay, but this one came right overhead. I have seen several lighting and thundershowers in the past, but never so powerful and commanding as this. It lasted for hours, and each blast of light lasted several seconds, followed by sometimes distant rolling thunder or ear defening crashes that sounded as if the lightning was striking Nigel and Lynns cabin next door! Compounded by the torrential rail pounding on the roof, it made for a fun night. Sometimes watching with awe off the balcony, sometimes failing miserably to photograph it, and other times hiding under the sheets with Theresa.

This shot was taken by Nigel and shows our deck in the foreground. Scary!
