 * Comment. This is in desperate need of an explanation to be useful. Was the photo taken in the daylight but with a very short exposure, or was it taken at night? Is the phenomenon visible only at long exposures but not with the naked eye? Was it taken with a some kind of filter, or are the colours and luminosity 'au naturel'? I suspect I know the answers to the questions (they're somewhat rhetorical), but it's a photo that needs explaining in the caption, otherwise we're not really sure what we're looking at. &#208;iliff    &#171;&#187;  (Talk)  08:43, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
 * IMHO, the picture was taken during the night to have more visual impact than the picture taken during a day as the discharge around the conductor has such brilliance that can be quite spectacular during the night. And the phenomenon is visible with the naked eye and I don't think any filter is required to capture this phenomenon.--Nikhil(talk) 05:41, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
