    Default Picture of a breaking beam

    Hey,

    Found this browsing on Internet, it reminds me of the description of a breaking beam. What do you think?

    -What do we usually do about bad things that aren't of our concern?
    -Well...we laught about it.
    -Then, my friend, once you're in the grave death might be a lot more fun than what we expect.

    Wow, great pic. Anyway when I try to imagine a breaking beam I cannot... I feel it's over the capacity of my fantasy.

    Yeah, I agree. There must be some PS in it.

    It's possible it was shopped, but then, I've seen some crazy things
    in my time. (A man and his son in a canoe on my old street when it
    flooded, and some epic thunderstorms on beaches to name a few)
    So it is also possible this is real.

    Either way, and regardless, it's still totally awesome.
    Random PM's are loved!

    That green lightning in the middle makes me think it's PS but I tend to believe you guys if you say so.

    Oh, me too... it's just - this image looks almost too perfect. The way the rolling clouds just sort of appear out of the calmer sky...and the way the lightning seems to wrap around the clouds.

    My money is on photoshop ... regardless, it's a cool image and yea - could be Beams breaking.

    Clearly somewhere along the Lion-Eagle beam

    Actually though, I don't think this is real. It could be, but I agree with turtlex in that it looks way too perfect.

    They say volcanic eruptions can cause lighting storms, so that could possibly be what this is.

    ICry4Oy: Yes! That's where it's from!

    It's funny to see that what we interpret as an descending phenomenon is actually an ascending one :p

    It still fits with the vision I have of a breaking beam

    -Well...we laught about it.
    -Then, my friend, once you're in the grave death might be a lot more fun than what we expect.
