Thanks for that Dan.  The lightning shot is very clever; I am never  
quick enough to catch lightning on the few occasions that we have it  
here in the UK.

I like the boiler as a subject, but I feel that this image is too  
"busy".  But it would be great to grab detail shots and use this one  
as a scene-setter.  Conversion to mono would look good too.
