I've said before we just don't get some of that great long cloud to ground lightning that I've seen shots of from Australia and that I remember from when I lived in Miami, Florida. While waking up this morning it dawned on me why, it's our altitude. We are nearly a mile up (1.6 km) and I suspect we are just so close to the cloud layer it kind of kills the opportunity for long dramatic lightning strikes. The photo you like is the lightning going horizontal and then slightly down and into the mountain.Good eye catching the Rocky Mountains in the background.</blockquote>
