Legal Fireworks

Last year the Honolulu City Council banned fireworks. Whether the recent bout of lightning storms is someone's way of sending them a message or not we'll have to leave to everyone to decide, but there have been some spectacular displays.

Last night, I was watching yet another one and decided it was time to see if I could catch some on film. Unfortunately, like with most things, once I got the camera out and got ready, things pretty much died!

Not that there wasn't still lightning, just that it was all behind the clouds so seeing the bolt was impossible, still it is pretty impressive! These were all taken about 10:00-10:30 at night when the sky was pitch-black.





And I did mangae to catch a few lightning bolts but none of them are real impressive.





This one is my favorite. Look closely at the top of the frame!
