    • Lightning → High time we had some pictures! Haven’t had some pictures in a long time! Before Bright flash The Power of Christ compells you! Looks like daylight, but it’s not The storm out to sea casts twilight Lightning over the sugarloaf I’m sorry, but the only power source capable of generating pictures like that is a bolt of lightning… …unfortunately, you never know when [...]
