I nearly injured myself the first time I attempted to take the above photo; I tried to make a lightning dash toward my position as soon as I set the timer, but slipped on the wet turf next to the path, tumbling face first and catching myself with my outstretched palms. Thankfully I ended up only with muddy and slightly sore palms and a muddy spot on my jeans.
