It reads: "A Japanese, noticing the approach of lightning and thunder storm, took the last car for the Cliff House at 10:30 p.m. The night was dark. He took up his position with his camera on the beach, and patiently waiting until 2 o'clock a.m., was able by leaving his camera open to obtain this picture, the "flashlight" being Nature's own--the bright strokes of lightning at the moment. The patience of the "Oriental," together with his keen perception of the opportunity, give us this photographic rarity, thunder storms and lightning being rare occurences in the "glorious climate of California. --Copyrighted."
