After all the driving around and chasing storms in 2010, it was nice to stay close to home in 2011. My sister and I kept searching for decent areas in Tucson to capture lightning. In my search, I drove up to the top of a fairly well known area that has a high elevation over Tucson. The hardest part about capturing this photo, was protecting my gear in the rain. With an umbrella in one hand and a timer in the other, I somehow managed to keep from blowing away in the wind.

Anytime you want to tag along, you are welcome to. I usually head out on Friday and Saturday nights. When chasing storms, I have been out until 2 in the morning. This year however, I believe we have a decent spot picked out in Tucson, so we won't have to chase storms all over southern Arizona and pay outrageous prices at the gas pumps.
