Arizona lightning - Mid-July, 2004


I finally made a trip to Arizona during the monsoon season for lightning photography. The weather cooperated fairly well - giving me thunderstorms on two of my four days in Tucson. Even on the down days... there are plenty of photo ops to keep one occupied. A few selected pictures:
