Thunder and Lightning

The little while ago we experiences our first Australian storm.

Extreme weather warnings were issued across Queensland and as we drove home from work, we could see the clouds gathering behind us, smaller clouds scudding across the sky being sucked into the storm.  By the time we were home it had hit.


























The heavens opened and it poured with rain.  We sat in the sitting room with the lights off watching the lightning over the sea.


























For a while it was right above us, and then gradually it moved further and further out to sea.






































Luckily we kept power, but the internet was MIA over night and into the next day...

Living where we live, with such an uninterupted view of the ocean is amazing. 
In the sun it makes you feel like you're permanently on holiday...


























...And when it's cloudy and overcast the sea looks brooding.  It is always beautiful in its own way.






































Plus sometimes we see whales!!
