Summer Lightning, Tucson, Arizona

This long-exposure photograph of a summer thunderstorm shows long cloud-to-ground lightning bolts; Tucson, Arizona. The Arizona desert experiences many intense thunderstorms, with powerful gust fronts, heavy rain, hail and lightning, during the summer months. The storms are caused by moist air from the Pacific Baja or the Gulf of Mexico mixing with hot, dry air rising up from the heated desert floor.
