Three jets - a photo on Flickriver

Three jets

Three of the phenomenon known as blue jets, they look like giant butane lighter flames shooting out of the top of clouds. I can't actually find any other examples of anyone capturing a jet with an SLR. Am I the first?

Despite the heavy motion blur (the pilot picked this particular second to hit a bump), I think this is the pick of the night. It's just too pretty.

You can read more about this night and my sprite hunting adventures here.
