Thunder

I don't need sleep when the night is so magnificent.

OK, that's not true. What I mean is, I couldn't sleep last night due to the phenomenal storm and right now I don't feel the lack. Doubtless it will catch up with me later, when it's time to work or something.

The first peal of thunder sounded like a bomb going off overhead. I have never heard anything like it, and neither had every dog in the neighbourhood, all of whom chose to voice their astonishment at the same moment. You could hear voices from houses and little tinny roars from frightened cars. Then sheet lightning broke across the sky, and the rain fell and the storm drew nearer until it pinned itself to the roof of the house and danced into oblivion.

A storm for Lughnassad!

Exotic ol' south wales :)
Just on the south coast, a short walk away from a beach with pebbles, big ol' rocks and sand...whichever you fancy, you could take your pic. Standing on the rocks watching the storms was fun :)
