No chance of catching moonrise last night because of deep-purple clouds and what looked like heavy rain to the east/southeast of Spring Creek Basin. But then something else super (get it?) cool happened, and I was focused on that (you’ll see it in upcoming posts). …
The clouds receded and returned, lightning was starting to strike along the southern ridges of Disappointment Valley … and I knew it was time to go.
The above pic is nearly full frame (a little cropped off the bottom). I didn’t know I’d actually caught the lightning until I saw the image on the computer. A little bit wow, eh? 🙂
