Description
This exposure was taken during a summer monsoon storm at Lake Powell. Shortly after arriving in the area
that late afternoon the sky darkened on the other side of the lake and the light show started. I quickly set up my camera, tripod, and lightning detector and captured this triple strike. This was just a fraction of the lightning that came around me. The force of the wind became so intense that I had to run for cover in my 4WD. It was the beginning of what was a long, long night.
