Lightning over the Valley of the Sun

There are less than two weeks left in Arizona's official monsoon season, and up until now, it's been a relatively quiet one.  This week, however, we've had a couple of storms, with a couple more predicted throughout the weekend. I got a chance tonight to try and catch a couple of lightning strikes.

I didn't have a great angle, which means a couple of things: 1) I need t make friends with someone with a south-facing balcony, and 2) I need to buy a house with a flat roof, or somehow be allowed roof access to a few buildings in the valley so I can have unrestricted views in every direction.

Oh, and I need to buy one of those little umbrellas for my camera.

Thanks for taking the time to check out my photos!  Be sure to leave a comment and let me know what you think of the work!
