Lightning Sunset on the Country Road

I finally decided to do a storm chase out on the eastern plains and headed about 3 hours east of Denver. I was getting some great lightning shots but I was not happy with the lack of character I was getting from straight lightning shots. I moved over to where I could get the barbed wire wooden posts in the shot to give a greater sense of place to the storm on the country road.
