Lightening is a fantastic display of mother natures power and when it can be captured in a photograph it's magnificence is captured in time.  Capturing any weather phenomenon is an example focusing on time within photography but due to lightening's short bursts capturing it truely depicts capturing a moment because as we've all experienced it is here one second and gone the next.  What's truly incredible about this photo is the fact that four bolts of lightening were captured at once and even though they have such a grabbing display of light, the lights of the city are in no way diminished in this photo.  Even though the lightening bolts are the focal points especial the one in the center of the photograph the city holds it's own as a very interesting compliment and a symmetry is almost created with the bolts and the buildings.  I really love this photo for the colors and the awesome weather that's captured in it.
