The Statue of Liberty Hit By Lightning [Image Cache]

I know that this need to have happened more than once, but for the love of Thor, what an spectacular shot this is often. Zoom in to work out the girl of the Harbor standing still against the forces of nature.

Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, and 1.21 gigawatts of electricity, indeed.

I was ready and waiting and took 81 shots before finally getting this one. It was pure luck really, a once in an entire life opportunity. It’s the first photograph of its kind I actually have ever seen.

Those are the words of latest York-based 58-year-old photographer Jay Fine, who claims he has waited more than 40 years for this image. Well, Mr. Fine, those are 40 years well spent, thank you a great deal. [ Metro ]
