I knew there was something I'd forgotten to write about...

Wednesday night, driving up I-95, there was lightning flashing over Baltimore. It was backlighting clouds. You know how sometimes parts of a cloud in front of a sunset will block the light completely while other parts glow, emphasising the three-dimensional shape and making it look ... sculpted? Sort of how you can carve a pumpkin to have thin glowy areas as well as intact opaque sections and holes clear-through? That's what the lightning was doing with these clouds.

Well I did see one yellow flash and one white flash, but the others were all orange. Orange sculpted glowy bits in a backlit black cloud.

So I was cruising north towards the world's largest Hallowe'en decoration (yeah, in May). Have I mentioned that my life has some cool special-effects? It's a good thing I like the surreal, eh?
