    Those are amazing shots, Frank... Really drives home the power of Nature... wow. Glad you had your camera handy. The second picture looks like fire shooting from the sky.

    Remarkable foto's, Frank. You had a nice vantage point there and could see a lot of the city below. Is this flat in Malacca or KL?

    I wish that I had known you were going to Malaysia. I once spent four months in that country and could have given you a couple of tips of things to see. It is a fantastic country in many ways.

    Oooh, scary! :eek: I'm sort of glad we don't have huge thunderstorms here, even though I'm fascinated by them. :D

    Cool photos Frank! Now, I do love a good thunderstorm... but lightening can be frightening when it's so close!
