Recognise this location? Picture: James Smith. Last week: Congratulations to Roger Shelton of Spence who was first to correctly identify last week's photo as a view through James Turrell's Skyspace, Within Without , at the National Gallery of Australia, taken during a rare recent blue sky. How to enter: Email your guess along with your name and suburb to tym iinet. The first correct email sent after 10am, Saturday December 11, , wins a double pass to Dendy, the Home of Quality Cinema.

Picture: Juanita Dawson. Recent wet weather has prompted the Dragon Lily Dracunculus vulgaris in Juanita Dawson's Queanbeyan yard to flower for the first time in eight years. The plant, also called Voodoo Lily because of its potent scent like rotting flesh or Snake Lily because of the long spadix, sports deep maroon flowers that can grow up to 30cm high and last for days.

Picture: Sam Nelson. If you think you might only encounter a snake in the heat of the day, think again. It slithered into the grass at the side of the track but not before Sam snapped this photo.

The blind snake is harmless to humans and is predominately nocturnal, spending most of its life under deep leaf litter or underground where it feeds on ants and termites. It is also usually only seen moving on the surface on warm humid nights.

Myth 6 — If you're outside in a storm, lie flat on the ground. Fact: Lying flat on the ground makes you more vulnerable to electrocution, not less. Lightning generates potentially deadly electrical currents along the ground in all directions—by lying down, you're providing more potential points on your body to hit. It is perfectly safe to touch a lightning victim to give them first aid. Fact: The presence of metal makes very little difference in determining where lightning will strike.

Height, pointy shape and isolation are the dominant factors in whether lightning will strike an object including you. However, touching or being near metal objects, such as a fence, can be unsafe when thunderstorms are nearby. If lightning does happen to hit one area of the fence—even a long distance away—the metal can conduct the electricity and electrocute you.

You must avoid any conducting path leading outside, such as electrical appliances, wires, TV cables, plumbing, metal doors or metal window frames.

Before an activity or event, organizers should listen to the latest forecast to determine the likelihood of thunderstorms. If thunderstorms are forecast, organizers should consider canceling or postponing the activity or event. In some cases, the event can be moved indoors. Once people start to arrive at an event, the guidelines in the lightning safety plan should be followed. Officials should monitor weather conditions, weather radar, and lightning detection technology for developing or approaching storms.

Below is some information to consider when making a lightning safety plan. In addition, NOAA has developed lightning safety toolkits for organizations and venues to use in making a plan. Below are some of the considerations in making a lightning safety plan. In general, a significant lightning threat extends outward from the base of a thunderstorm cloud about 6 to 10 miles.

Here are some criteria that could be used to stop activities. There is no place outside that is safe when a thunderstorm is in the area. Stop the activity immediately and get to a safe place immediately. Substantial buildings with wiring and plumbing provide the greatest amount of protection.
