Two amazing photos posted at SpaceWeather.com: Aurora in field image and lightning strike

And some pictures I took: The first two are of a stormy sky over Fort Worth on Aug. 15, and the full moon on Aug. 18. The third is of a lightning strike during a pop-up storm in far north Fort Worth on Aug. 7. The first two images link to large versions in a new window:
