Went on a storm chase north from Tucson yesterday. A very big cell was moving directly toward Picacho Peak. Calculating our respective speeds, I figured I had enough time to intercept it when it crossed the peak/I-10 area. I was right and was in a perfect position, with a clear view of the peak and sun breaks lighting up the foreground.
By the time the storm moved into the frame, though, there was a wall of water between me and the peak. A minute after this shot, it hit me.
The original is wider and mostly gray blur. I cranked up some of the editing tools in Lightroom to make the bolts pop a bit more and cropped it way in just to have something to show for the day. Win some lose some. This is possibly the last monsoon-season chase opportunity of the season, but there is lightning here even in the winter sometimes.

Our last night in Arizona finally had some clear skies so I got both the camera and the telescope out for some astrophotography. This was the view from our campsite. #astrophotography #startrails #arizona #picachopeak #fulltimerv
