Rollwagen tells PTBOCanada the photos and video were taken just off Hwy 28 between Lakefield and Peterborough where the Leahy's fruit and vegetable stand is at County Rd 33, and overlooks a small marshy lake called Buckley Lake.

"It was one of the best lightning shows I've seen in quite awhile," Rollwagen tells PTBOCanada. "Usually it's hard to get a few good shots but Mother Nature made it easy last night and I had the right vantage point."

"I shot the pictures from inside the car out a window," Rollwagen tells PTBOCanada. "Me and this hill have a history...as you know." (The history Rollwagen is referring to can be read about in this post from summer 2014.)
