According to the photographer's blog

Quote:

Shot at Toronto's Centre Island. A great example of being in the right place at the right time. My sister and I went to the Island after work for some photos and this amazing sunset started to form, so I quickly put the camera on a tripod and started shooting intervals (using the Pclix) for about an hour hoping to capture the lightning. I have 5 lightning shots out of around 600 photos and this is the best one.

WOW!

that is phenomenal!! !

that's a delicious combination of colours, and the lightning makes it look like a concept art come to life. You keep that picture, that's a rare shot, you should send it into geographic!
