Now for some "controversy"...I've heard people say that lightning bolts originate on the ground and travel upwards...others say the opposite. So....what's the real deal here..??
I believe both can apply. Just depends on where the negative charge is. Either in the ground or in the sky.
I remember seeing a lightning bolt start from a cloud and curve into an almost perfect circle to either the bottom of a cloud or another cloud that was underneath the first one. That was the freakiest bolt I've ever seen and I've never seen any others like that since.
And yes, that is a beautiful shot!
