POWER

Lightning to me is immediately evocative of power, and not just for what it does, but for what it looks like. In this particular photo, the contrast with everything around it is what creates the feeling of power. The bolt is enormous and blindingly bright, immediately drawing focus and inspiring awe. In addition to the brightness, the unearthly purple-pink tint to the light makes it seem otherworldly. The light conveys power, and its presence makes everything around it look tiny and powerless by comparison.

4)  I picked this picture because when I think of power in terms of lighting I think of lightning.  Lightning produces a very powerful light,  not only is it bright but it is full of energy.  I think the light that lightning produces is one the brightest kinds of light and it is like no other light.  The light produced from lightning is powerful enough to light up the whole sky for that split second.  There is a mysterious component to the light that lightning makes.  I think it comes from the fact that there is so much potential and build up that it is a light that may be short but it is very intense for that split second.  It is impressive to think about the amount of light that lightning is really producing.  Thinking about theatre a very powerful image for storms is flashes of light to represent the lightning.  Even though it it may create a strobe effect usually to create an effect like that you would flash lights on and off from full power to zero.  These bright powerful flashes are what help represent the intense storm.
