One regret after publishing "Shining Art on Light" is that I did not include a section on Lightning under Natural Phenomena. Lightning is mentioned as having been an ignition source for natural fire. It could have been mentioned in connection with Ben Franklin's famous kite experiment, which raised awareness of the connection of electricity to light. This was an earlier precursor to electric lighting. It would have been challenging to find a piece of art associated with lightning, but I am confident I could have found something. Perhaps I could do a second edition at some point.
