8/5/07 Santa Fe, NM Lightning


On August 5, 2007, I was fortunate to observe a spectacular lightning display in Santa Fe, NM as a monsoon thunderstorm approached the city from the south. I photographed the bolts above looking south from a hill in the northern part of the city, toward the Bataan Memorial in downtown Santa Fe.

Sangre de Cristo Mtns. and Santa Fe Cathedral with lightning

Better than any man-made fireworks
