My favorite antique photo of Lightning

[finderzzs]

I have 2 of these photos found in an old box of photos at a garage sale a decade ago. On the back it says, "This photograph was taken by Gus lilyestrom? 49 Proctor st. at 2 o'clock a.m. July 28, 1910. across Indian lake, Worcester,Mass. The mainflash of lightning strikes the Kupola of JG Bronie?? barn, knocking off its shingles, but without setting fire." Pretty cool I think.

Too bad we don't know how it was taken...time exposure perhaps?

Neat old picture. I love the fact that you have the story to go with it. That is just about an hour and a half from me. Thanks for sharing.
