During my recent trip to Colorado, I had to withstand the torments of a thunder and lightning storm that was extremely electric.

It’s not easy to capture lightning strikes but I was able to capture a few near Marble Canyon in Northern Arizona. The monsoon season is in full swing and storms are prevalent in the area during summer.

One Electric Night ………….

Thursday night in Southern Utah saw many a thunder and lightning storm pass through the landscape. I hadn’t witnessed this many bolts of electricity since I moved here 8 years ago. My friend and photography protege Ali Erdmann and I just sat there with our cameras on tripods, positioned to capture the light show. Her brand new blog can be found at The Crooked Trail There was electricity all around us. The great thing about these storms was that they didn’t really reach our position until just before dark when it started to rain on us.
