Rare Pacific Northwest Lightning

It is rare that we have thunder and lightning over Whidbey Island, perhaps every few years.  When I heard the loud rumble, I grabbed my camera and stationed myself at a window.  I focused manually for distance, set the shutter speed for eight seconds, then hand held the camera and waited.  Out of some 50 shots, I caught the lightning twice.

I am sure the purple color cast is an odd white balance - but I like it!
