Unexpected encounter at KL Tower

Went to KL Tower for the first time and had an unexpected encounter with a passing lighting Storm .... With Lightnings flashing like those tower visitors' camera ... I couldn't help it but pull out my trusty hp to snap some pix ... and the best pic is ...

Not very branchy or fancy but it's not easy to catch a lighting k ...

Some of the pix turn out to be like this

Not sure why but only managed to capture a portion of the lightnings


Does anyone know why does it appear like that?

Some Folks beside me was commenting that they sure don't want to be caught on the roof of any buildings around that area right now ... and looking back at these pictures now .... it sound like a great advice ... that is unless you got death wish n like to go off with a Bam : )
