Lightning's pretty cool

Sand wins

I am not 100% sure, but I don't think lightning does that to sand

How do they get a long exposure photo of lightning? We're they just taking a picture of a tree and it was struck by lightning by coincidence? It seems so unlikely though.

If it's long grass (cause that was taken on a golf course, most likely) it generally just leaves a ring of mushrooms behind.

Lasst pick is not true. Thats a drip castle. A sand castle made by dribbling mud in the same place for a long time.
