What an incredible night and an epic lightning storm over Marblehead Harbor. I left the house a little after 7pm hoping to capture lightning from Chandler Hovey park but kept missing bolts during the first storm. As the rain pelted the Neck, I waited in my car and saw another storm heading our way on the radar.
As I waited, I noted pink hues forming near the horizon and moved to a favorite spot on Corinthian Lane from where I captured a very nice sunset over the harbor. Just as the sunset light faded, the real show began and I was treated to an awesome lightning storm. The bolts kept growing in size and I managed to grab three huge bolts over a span of three frames. I decided to stack the three images to share all of the lightning bolts in the single frame affording the viewer a better feeling for the awesomeness of tonight’s storm.
Fantastic!
nice capture!
Amazing photo!
Awesome!
Spectacular
that’s awesome, well done.
Thanks Shawn. Really jealous of your drone rainbow shot. I was waiting for rain to clear when sun came out but didn’t think to drive around the Neck and capture the double rainbow using the ‘real’ camera. Your drone shot of it came out great.
Thank you, though I would take your shot tonight any day of the week, month or year. Well done. Keep it going. :)
We’re going to need to meet up at some point. Maybe in Swampscott as a half-way point ;-)

Must have missed the original version but yeah, Mother Nature can put on a show to rival any fireworks.

Amazing photo!! Love the lighting in this shot. So very talented. Thanks for sharing.
Incredible. I love the mix of man-made and natural light, the way the boats seem to point at the light show, the color and light, the composition, the … everything! Being at the right place at the right time involves so much skill at predicting the weather, the light, the viewpoint…. This is just exquisite. My superlatives are failing me. Congratulations on a really unique, completely stunning image! WOW!!!
Thank you very much for the kind words and all the superlatives Susan
Incredibly beautiful!

It was an amazing storm .wished I was a the beach .there was alot of rainbows around
Sure was. I was beating myself up for missing the peak of the double rainbow but then was rewarded with this instead…
Going to make it out there this time ,just got to get my work hrs.
Nice pic but it looks further away from the harbor? Nahant? Revere?
Nope – Corinthian Lane on the Neck
Outstanding
Brilliant!
