About the Photograph

The light captured in this image is all about an approaching storm in the Painted Desert. I was with my Cousin Jim and we both kept an eye on the approaching storm which was displaying lightning strikes in the western sky. On several occasions I thought we might have to retreat to safety before being able to capture the image I wanted. Fortunately, on this evening the storm stayed far enough away until my work was complete. As we drove out of the Park the storm hit. It was a long drive to Phoenix and to a flight home the following morning.
