Description
This was an evening I won't soon forget. I had gone to the bay in Farmington, Utah to photograph the amazing sunset that was developing. I set up my camera and fired off a couple shots when I saw lightning out of the corner of my eye and it was quite far in the distance. So I spun my camera around thinking how awesome it would be to catch lightning with that sky when all of a sudden it happened. A bit too close for comfort, but WOW! I was in awe that I had captured two of my favorite things in one shot.
