Drama In New York

Empire State Building Struck by Lightening

This is the kind of photo I wish I I had taken, since I do spend quite a bit of time trying to find interesting ways to photograph high rises. The one above was taken on June 22 by the news host bully Keith Olbermann. I'm not sure if the funnel of light on the right is due to camera problems or if it is related to the lightening (although it is probably a combination of both). I know lightening photos are a dime a dozen, but having the Empire State Building appear to emit the thread of light from its tip is both luck and perception. Well done, Keith!
