Lightning strike caught n the Arizona desert.

Well, its been too long since we’ve had any monsoon activity so I thought I would post a lightning pic as a pseudo rain dance.  Hopefully this will help.

This strike was caught just outside of Fountain Hills.  That night was one of the best lightning displays I have ever seen.  It was literally raining lightning.  Let us hope the monsoons return soon.

Until next time…

    Thanks for sharing, Chris! This is a great shot. Hopefully the pseudo rain dance is successful. The forecast looks good for the weekend.

      Thank you so much. I do my best to avoid being hit. I have a lot of respect for light that comes out of the sky. ;) Thank you again for looking at my images. It means a great deal.
