planta alta tormenta
there's a bar that i've been to a few times in paraguay called planta alta. each thursday and saturday night they have live music, jazz and bossa nova respectively. the bands are good and the bar is pretty cool as well, it doubles as an art gallery and also has a ping pong table and roof terrace. last thursday we were all sat on the terrace when we got distracted by flashing lights in the distance. turned out there were a few really localised storms sparking off around us. it looked amazing, and lasted for hours. annoyingly i had run out of space on my memory card, so had to keep deleting photos one by one before i could take a new one. this became particularly difficult as these storm flashes occurred at random, so it was hard to get the timing right. this was an early, knee-balanced attempt which probably turned out best. after i took it a mate from barcelona said it was "the best fucking picture i've seen in my life" - we were all under the influence but i'm still pocketing that compliment.
