We had some of the most impressive storms towards year's end last year. Prime1 d'l'orange told me to stalk lightning...now while I can be a little out of the ordinary -- I ain't crazy. I did like the drama though.

    That cloud looks like something from NeverEndingStory... lovely PoV... is this from your window or from the rooftop?

  2. ªßè®

    siht NeverEndingStory used to make me cry. I'd hide for that flying monster and lil' magician midgets.

  3. NguJaz

    abe: are you referring to that luck dragon that looked like a giant pink poodle?ante elias: it's from the terrace

  4. ªßè®

    Yeah, well I was young then and I'd cry whenever I saw the unicon sunk in the mud. I'd play the video tape whenever my parents left home. Fcuk it growing up has stolen my innocence.

    Love it. As a child I feared storms because my gran was afraid. She used to go under the bed and plug her ears. Now I don't mind. I am free!

    I didn't fear storms that much till I had to visit in the former KwaNdebele. The kids there would talk about certain grannies sending lightning to our house... did not matter where you live. I guess if those grannies had patented their GPS, they would be rich today.

    err, if I told you that I can hear thunder before it 'claps' would you still be my friend?

  13. ªßè®

    But scientifically not true......cause light(3×10^8 m/s) travels faster than sound(340 km/s).....

  14. lebogang nkoane

    Abe --- you are not understanding me, scientifically.

    I said I can hear thunder before it 'claps' ---- thunder is not light, it's the sound after the light-ning.

    now, scientifically, when lighting strikes it sends shock waves through the sky --- and then the sound comes after --- my ears can pick the shock waves just before the sound hits them.

    *googles

  15. heartwarmer

    lenna, lenna I can tell you thunder is comin before it comes...mara nna i can tell just after the lightening strikes. Yah.

    Rudzani you are killing me. I can just imagine my gran trying to fit under a bed. Or lona ne le o beya mo godimo ga di buckstena? haha

    Oh and Abe - I adored the Never Ending Story. I won't watch it now cause I just want to keep that sweet childhood memory of it. It was one of my favourite movies then. Ah man...that giant poodle was just too cute hey.

  16. heartwarmer

    oh yah Ngu-J - hot pic

  17. NguJaz

    that poodle was hella scary back then. who was the "star-in" called again? Atreyu?
    ja, no don't watch it heartwarmer. when i watched as a semi-grownup i felt like a punk when i saw that luck dragon.

  18. Gixxer_Sane

    I am only here --- to summon the Gods to bring us summer.

    I need that light, that contrast, clouds --- darkness, chaos, calm,,,, the works.

    *looks for that chant to summon 'rain'.
