Crazy weather today for Australia Day Fireworks 2012. It was 42C in the morning, but by late afternoon dark stormy clouds began forming. We had stayed back at a friend’s BBQ a tad late so didn’t have it enough time to make it to the south side of the Swan River, but after seeing the sky we knew we had to take some photos… So we went to a car park roof top in the centre of Perth.
The lighting began just before the Australia Day fireworks started, creating an amazing display natures and man’s pyrotechnics complemented each other. It was an awesome skyshow!
Such an inspiring shot. I’ve always wanted to photograph lightning. To see man and nature together like this is brilliant.
Intensely intense. Love it.
What a sick photo. It looks absolutely surreal.
WOW. The fact that you were able to capture this is just beyond me. Awesome shot!
Freaking awesome! (And a little scary)
Wow, crazy! Love the juxtaposition. Great capture.
did you jump up and down and cheer when you got that shot? Because I would.
so jealous.
Craziness. Unreal! What a moment.
What a crazy contrast, gorgeous photo!
Great! Man made and natural fireworks all in the same shot. :)
Awesome!
Stunning!
A-MAZ-ING!!!! Talk about perfect timing! Great job!
Wow what a shot – so surreal!
Nature wins!
WOW! That’s unreal.
That photo is amazing. What luck (haha skill?) to get fireworks and lightning at the same time! Amazing.
