Northbourne: a daytime sky at night

Looking across the garage/delivery area behind the shops in Gillam Road (see Image) at 11:35pm on a Friday night in July, the sky light up almost to daytime levels as the picture coincides with a tremendous lightning bolt. This evening's storm ran from about 11:25pm to 12:15 on the Saturday morning. Lightning flashes were seen almost constantly throughout this period so although this is a fluke of timing, it was not as difficult as it sounds!
