NPAC lightning

June 8 2011-Lightning lights up the sky above Fort Henry, a UNESCO world heritage site, during the second thunderstorm to go through the area that day.

It is nice to try and get your work in as many locations as possible. As an internship student with The Kingston Whig-Standard and a storm enthusiast it provided a unique front page photo that not many would have taken. Eventually I was able to get it on to the Weather Network and now it is up on NPAC's website as the spotlight photo.
Lightning is an amazing thing to photograph. It took me the longest time to realize why I love photographing lightning, I have come to the conclusion, much like photographing all other weather phenomenon, it is one of the only things on the planet we have no control over.

Larry Showler, owner of Frontenac Outfitters Canoe and Kayak Centre stands in a hole created by the uplifting of a tree during last weeks storm. Showler has a strong feeling that it was a tornado that went through the property, many signs indicate so. A line of trees throughout the forest is snapped like twigs, one after another. This massive tree was just one of a hundred that litters Showler’s property. Dented canoes will be on sale to those interested in getting a good deal.
