Double Lightning Strike
I was shooting an oncoming storm at the Little Painted Desert, Navajo County, Arizona, near Winslow. This was the last of a few images I took before the storm became too close, the wind too strong and my wife yelling at me to get into the car. This is a single exposure with two bolts of lightning striking at the same time. After getting into the car, I removed all the sand I could from the camera, and my eyes, ears, nose and mouth. A more thorough cleaning was done at home.
