Description

This picture was taken at Palo Duro Canyon in Amarillo, Texas from my campsite while I was on an overnight stay. Picture was taken at 9:49 pm as a severe thunder-storm had just passed over. Nikon D70 with 18-70mm DX kit lens. F/9, 54.6 second exposure, at ISO 200. Taken on tri-pod and used Nikon Remote control to hold shutter open.
