August: Lightning

I went on a trip to the Castle Rock Badlands which are located south of Quinter, KS. The original intent was do do some Milky Way photography with the rock formations. The weather forecast wasn't good but I've seen that before and gotten there to see only clear skies.
The skies did appear to be clear to the south although there was a storm to the north. I took some photos of that storm while waiting for darkness to fall. When it did, another storm appeared on the southern horizon and clouds obscured the Milky Way. I did get these lightning photos of the northern storm as it approached and then finally forced me to leave.
