Beautiful picture. I always stumble into fantastic pictures of Austin on reddit... maybe it's a sign :D

I remember this! I was coming home from a friend's house in the area.

memeaddictedchick · 4 months

I live an hour from there. The windows are flashing with thunder as I type this. Quite nice. :)

Austin has some amazing/scary lightning storms. Sometimes, at night, it looks like a strobe light outside.

TheDoBoy · 4 months

is that 1.21 gigawatts?

blackedouteverything · 4 months

Right click, set as background.

Yep, I was trying to get some pics of that with an SLR the other night. Props to whoever took this picture.

Last place in the world I would want to be during a thunderstorm is the 360 bridge spot. You have a far bigger sack than I sir

awesome pic from one of my favorite places in austin

ChiBears811 · 4 months

Is that the bridge on 360? Just off of FM2222?

I know exactly where you are....park on the street and go up that hill next to the highway. I had sex there. You probably saw my condom.

TheBrownLion · 4 months

I see Thor is hanging out in Austin

jenesuispasbavard · 4 months

Irrelevant but a hill right next to that bridge (actually what the photographer is standing on) is one of the best places near a city to look at the stars from, on a clear night of course.

grandson39 · 4 months

Thats the bridge on 360. Nice area

Kaiosama · 4 months

Nothing to see here... Just Thor our for a stroll.

PolardOOd · 4 months

So does anyone actually drive in Austin? There isn't a single car on the road. Sup with that?

chrismc321 · 4 months

Title says it all, absolutely amazing!

Everyone_Does_Pills · 4 months

Everytime I see a picture on Reddit of something in Austin, it's this fuckin' spot.

Now, it is an awesome spot and I've been there myself but there are some other awesome spots that I think photographers should take advantage of around there.

Great pic, though. Wish I could have seen that in person.

Dischade · 4 months

Is everyone on Reddit an Austinite? Holy shit.

OBEYthesky · 4 months

I can only imagine the levels of maniacal laughter you let out as the lightning struck.

Aea · 4 months

Austin, where the one rain of the season will feel like a hurricane. :/

Aquemini182 · 4 months

pretty amazing photo, if only I could be lucky enough in my lifetime to get something that amazing on photo.

mr_spent_youth · 4 months

I hike the greenbelt under that bridge pretty frequently, it's lovely country even when it's not getting pummeled by storms.

I'm not scared of lightening but... "I'm not overly fond of what follows!"

WastedJack · 4 months

Better than "Amazing lightning as seen FROM bridge in Austin, TX"

UncleLev · 4 months

That is, without a doubt, the most awesome photograph of lightning I've ever seen.

Sorry if you answered this to someone else already, but did you take this?

John0nly · 4 months

Wow.. My new wallpaper for a while, thanks.

SandstoneD · 4 months

I wouldn't wanna be standing on that bridge while seeing that lightning. That's the coward in me.

WasabiBomb · 4 months

I used to watch storms from that very location. One of the best vantage points in the area.

UrbanGimli · 4 months

I heard they are filming the Thor sequel there

xD3v1LxpR0X · 4 months

if someone would put their finger on the bridge, there would be an AMAZING firework display

TrailofDead · 4 months

You are brave soul. My house is kind of in this picture about 4 miles away from that point. You went up the hill on the Northwest side of the 360 bridge.

So, to get this picture, you risked 2 hours of standing at a high point in the area to get a lightning pic? Yikes!

lulzmachine · 4 months

New background for sure. Love the mood.

WeezyFbaby021 · 4 months

When was this taken!? and What's the name of that bridge? I've been there before, my sister goes to UT

The_Noisemaker · 4 months

I know that place! and I was there during that storm! I love familiarity!

The_MSPainter · 4 months

I saw some crazy lightning all the way from Bastrop/Cedar Creek

CheshireSmile · 4 months

Beautiful.

brawndo89 · 4 months

Sitting there watching that storm was one of the best things I've ever seen. So crazy.

tokinathon · 4 months

Westlake redditors maybe?

KirbyinAustin · 4 months

I had to drive home through that storm last night. It was pretty scary.

TheAlmightyConch · 4 months

I was messing around outside yesterday with my dog and it just started to rain and get cold, I was happy about rain since we get it 7 times a year, but I DON'T LIKE CHANGE!

dragon512 · 4 months

Upvote for Austin

hrothgar_the_great · 4 months

By Thor's Hammer!!!

ineversaidbatman · 4 months

Well, technically, since you're not on the bridge, it's not actually seen from the bridge.

chmodlabs · 4 months

Nice to see thunderstorms after like 2 years of nothing!

JarOfButtons · 4 months

Yah there was bad storm last night

TexanInExile · 4 months

That is an amazing picture, but you're a damn idiot. Seriously, who stands on top of a cliff, right next to a giant metal bridge, in the middle of a thunderstorm? You're lucky you're not in the hospital.

domynatryx · 4 months

Was this from last night's storm? Beautiful! I can't believe you had the balls to climb that cliff in that weather. You should submit the picture to KVUE for their weather snapshot contest.

I also have a picture of that bridge:

i love that spot where this picture was taken. its a shame the tree that is up there was not included in the shot. Capital of Texas Highway Austin,Tx. Penny Backer Bridge. Few miles from Research Blvd.

fishypot · 4 months

Now what the hell possessed you to go all the way to the top of the hill while it's pouring and lightning?

I got engaged at that exact spot on top of the cliff.

UncleScab · 4 months

I call this cliff "anxiety point" because its so elevated, but this would make it MUCH crazier.

Red_Chaos1 · 4 months

When I first moved here to Austin 3 years ago there was a lot more weather like this, and I loved it. The recent weather was quite a treat.

Beanz122 · 4 months

Just when I thought Austin couldn't get any more awesome.

Dat_Mane · 4 months

Is that of today's storm? I live in Austin.

[deleted] · 4 months

My wife and I used to live right down the road from this bridge. I always thought of it as the Apocalypse Bridge where an epic battle would take place. This is just as epic. Well done.

Ravenna · 4 months

Woah was this last night? I was driving from East Texas through this ridiculous storm, and think I may have seen this flash of lightening.
