Some heavy summer storms got in the way of many of the outdoor activities planned for last week's Civic Holiday long weekend. While torrential downpours kept most people indoors, photographers around the city braved the elements, hoping to capture shots of lightning strikes illuminating the city. In today's Photo of the Day, which was submitted to the UrbanToronto Flickr Pool by Ben Roffelsen, we are taken to a balcony in Concord CityPlace, for a view of last week's electrifying light show.
