LIGHTNING STRIKES THE GROUND from a brilliant, purple sky in the Mallee, north-west Victoria, in this week’s reader photo sent in by Chris Rowlands, from Swan Hill, VIC.
“I took this shot after [it] reached over 40°C in the Mallee,” says Chris. “The lightning was hitting the ground around about 300m away in some of the shots I took in the most hectic and adrenaline filled 10 minutes of my life.”
