Great capture of this beautiful bolt, Mike. Looks like things are heating up out west so take 'em wherever you may find them - Tennessee, Arizona, Kansas. These storms are amazing no matter where they are. Oh, must've made AC while I was typing. Congrats!

It's a great shot Mike, regardless of where you took it! LOL Lightening in the desert is kinda hard to come by at times...

Congratulations on your AC & World View! Impressive :-)
