Thunderstorm at Devil's Tower National Monument
The following photos were taken while a thunderstorm passed near
Devil's Tower National Monument in the state of Wyoming during May of
1999. A portion of Devil's Tower can be seen in the far lower left
corner of the first photo. A short streak of lightning can also be seen
above the road in the middle of the first photo. If you have difficulty
spotting the lightning streak, look at the second photo where I have
blown up the area where the lightning is. The third photo is of the
same thunderstorm several minutes later as the sun was setting in the
western horizon. The last picture was taken by Matt Siebert, a friend
of mine, and is a picture of the same thunderstorm a few seconds before
I took the first photo.
