This is the amazing moment a lightning bolt was captured as it struck the iconic Statue of Liberty.
The impressive image was caught by New York photographer Jay Fine who spent the night braving the storm in Battery Park City, Manhattan, in a bid to get the perfect picture.
Mr Fine spent nearly two hours poised with his camera and took more than 80 other shots before striking lucky with this particular bolt of lightning at 8.45pm on September 22.
The 58-year-old, who has been trying for more than 40 years to capture the magnificent moment, said he was stunned when he saw the image.

This is great photography. It is a little to bad that he wasn't just a more to his right then it could appear that the lightening could be strengthening or represent the strength of one of the symbols of this country depending on whether it was seen as being received or being emitted.
Great placement of the Statue of Liberty to the right and great picture composition.
I would say it was worth the wait.
Will be sharing and thanks for posting this.
