This is the moment a lightning bolt appears to strike the Statue of Liberty in New York. New York photographer Jay Fine had spent the night braving the storm in Battery Park City, Manhattan, in a bid to get the perfect picture. Jay spent nearly two hours poised with his camera and took more than 80 shots before striking lucky with this particular bolt of lightning at 8.45pm on 22 September. He said he had been waiting 40 years to get the picture.
To capture the shots Jay used a Nikon D300s with 60mm f/2.8 lens on the following settings: Aperture: F/10, Shutterspeed: 5 seconds, ISO: 200. Share this page

Really? Forty years? Ho couldn’t have just PhotoShopped this?
Maybe it’s just these old eyes of mine but it looks like the lightning struck .. somewhere in the background!?
Long may she stand!
Nothing like the real thing. That’s cool!
I hope that represents the real America being re-energized by God, and get this country back on track!
Good. Her battery is charged and ready to go on November 2nd!
It looks to me like the lightning struck something near the shoreline of the mainland behind the statue.
Wow. I’ve spent the last forty years earning a college degree, teaching school, raising two kids, establishing two businesses, traveling, reading Ayn Rand. Just sayin...
That is what it looks like to me. It hit the water on the other side. Looks like another forty years to go.
A new ZOT pic candidate?
all fired up - its go time.
The thickest lightening branch looks photo shopped to me.
And for most people to agree.
Lady Liberty ZOT!!
Alert the Kitties!
Didn’t this happen in the first X-Men movie? “You know what happens to a frog when it’s hit by lightning? The same thing that happens to everything else!”
