I've had the synchronous firefly display in the Great Smoky Mountains on my travel list for some time now!

When young 10 y-old in Michigan, I would photograph lightning from the second-floor window... never thought about using the Kodak 2A Brownie time exposure and opening a jar of captured fireflies in the bedroom.

The post photo is remarkably simple... a "why did I not think of that" idea.
