Jeff,
   WOW! So much color and sky coverage. just fantastic. I live in Lake Tahoe
about 4 hours north and east of Steve and don't have quite as many Walmarts in
my neighborhood, so I do get to see the odd light show - but nothing like this.
Great shooting.
Loren Banbury.
  PS  We only get this much light when Reno turns on the casinos at night.
