<p>Just in time for me to dig through some recent shots to hunt for something to post this week (it's been busy around here), the lights started flickering with an incoming thunderstorm. Excellent! This shot was from about 45 minutes ago. Probably shouldn't have been standing in the street in bare feet in the rain steadying the camera on a trashcan, but one does what one must. A good Nikon Wednesday to everyone, and let's see some photos!</p><div></div>
