These two are probably my new favorite lightning shots. The bolts themselves aren't that spectacular, I just really like the location and structure.
May 25, 2012 handheld this shot from an airplane several thousand feet above central Kansas. Sandwiched between the anvil and boundary layer, the two cloud layers made it look like we were flying through a cave. A generic bolt of lightning, but the vantage is one from which few get to see lightning.

June 22, 2012 in northwest Kansas. A nice bolt of cloud to ground lightning, but the stacked plates structure is what made this shot for me:
