It's been raining quite heavily for the past week down here in southeastern Utah. I grabbed out the camera last night and snapped these pics.

These were taken from my bedroom window, looking north out across my backyard and beyond. It's amazing how thick some of those bolts are!

Enjoy! :2thumbs:

Image-bar candidates? :ne_nau:

I'd hate to be on the receiving end of one of those bolts. :eek2:

Shutter speed set at around 30 seconds. Most of the time I would cover the lens with my hand after one good strike, otherwise subsequent strikes would whitewash the frame.
