Ahh…south Tucson. This was the first time I’d ever ventured up to A-Mountain and I barely had time to setup before the lightning rained down. I loved being up so high, but was also pretty close to this strike. It was a bit nerve wracking…this was only 39mm (albeit cropped to the left side of the frame), but I felt a weeee bit exposed up there.
The bright line of city lights next to the landing of the bolt is Interstate 10 as it turns and heads off towards New Mexico.
Nothing I enjoy more in a lightning strike than seeing where it lands.
