Pike’s Peak Adventure Part 1

We headed up Pike’s Peak while on vacation. We pretty much made a day of it stopping along the way so the kids could play on mother natures jungle gyms (aka rocks/boulders) . Of course I went with them with my trusty Flip UltraHD.

In this video the kids and I get out and play for about 45 minutes at a large rock area. Check out the rainbow in this video! There was lightening and storms not far away. I managed to capture some lightening while filming Terra. My seven year old daughter kept saying how beautiful it was. She must have said that 20 times while we were playing on the rocks.

Look close at about 2:22 for the lightening cracking down. The lighteneing will be in the upper left corner. Look below for two stills that I captured from the video.

Here are two stills from the video of two different lightening strikes as I filmed Terra. It was so fast that only part of the bolts were captured on the Flip. Click on the images to see larger versions.
