NEW - Idaho Lightning Photos (August 17th 2007)

[Gerrit Gulden]

Well we had a decent push of Monsoonal Moisture the other day and the Thunderstorms were incredible. From Crawlers to Cgs the lightning was spectacular. The best part was there was really no rain, except for the fact that many fires were ignited this night. I drove very little to get close to the location where I shot the majority of these. Enjoy.

the rest are at my website linked in my signature.

Thanks.

Yes, very nice Gerrit. That monsoonal moisture keeps missing us, it seems like eastern Idaho has been getting lots lately. I haven't seen rain but maybe three times this summer. Seriously.

Hey those are nice! It's funny when the monsoon gets up that far. Nice job!!

Im starting to criop my photos now, will update this post with the outcome.

Thanks for the compliments. I waited since April for an Event like this and finally by August it panned out to be worth the wait, very worth the wait.

Hopefully this is only the start to many more nocturnal thunderstorm evenings.

Heres hoping all of you that live in AZ or are traveling to AZ will be very succesfull with Lightning photography. Im looking forward to seeing all of your new lightning photos.
