Description
Arizona has some of the most spectacular displays of lightning that I've ever seen. I wrote this for a previous photo, but it is worth repeating: the high cloud bases and flat terrain mean that the lightning bolts are long and can be seen from a long way off. Flying at the base was cancelled as this storm approached.
I was lucky to get this when I could. About 15 minutes after getting this shot, conditions deteriorated rapidly and a gust front went through, obscuring the distant lights with a bunch of dust.
