Lightning over the Tucson Mountains
During a monsoon storm, lightning is happening over the Tucson Mountains in Saguaro National Park West. I live next to the national park, and was planning on shooting the first night of the Super Blue Moon rising over the mountain peaks. Instead, a storm moved in and I spent a couple of hours shooting lightning and never did see the moon that night due to heavy cloud cover.
