Eight years ago on the Pasty Cam: 6/24/98^{Printed on Recycled Internet}

Storms provide photographers with some of their best images, and some of their greatest challenges (in terms of lighting and, for that matter, lightning). Here is lightning strike from eight years ago. It is fitting that this photo appears in a week where the Keweenaw has had it second major power outage in three weeks, thanks to an intense storm that rolled through.

Pasty Fest is one week from today. The first 500 visitors to the Pasty Central booth will receive a free pasty. To you budding poets: don't forget to enter our Pasty Fest poetry contest. Winners will have their poems read by our Pasty Poet Master, Captain Don Kilpela.

Good Morning Everyone.

The lighting has a bitter likeness to the many storms we experienced last Wednesday here in SE lower Michigan. The picture is beautiful but great care must be taken not to be part of the scenery.

WOW!

Awsome!

Cool! Love watching lightning...from a safe place.
