Desert Storm Chasing

It was a 10-day storm chasing trip - hoping to capture dramatic storms and lightning in the southwest deserts.

Summer days were long. We usually got up around 4:30am to catch the sunrise, drove up and down the deserts chasing storms, and then finally returned back to the hotel after 10pm. It was unusually dry this year in the desert. The monsoon season didn't generate mush rainstorms in the southwest. At the end of the exhausting 10-day trip, after driving over 1,000 miles, on the very last day of the trip, I caught ONE lightning in my photo - yeah, it's a very expensive photo in so many ways!!!

This photo deserves to be viewed on a computer - enlarge the lightning portion of the image...
