lightning

Heading back from a visit up to Mt Evans in Colorado, the storm that was rolling in up there, hit full force as I got back down onto the plains. As I was driving up I-25 north of Denver, it was a lightning storm going off like crazy to the East. There was no real place to pull off and shoot it...
