I am happy with this shot but It isn’t quite what I was after. I thought it would be cool to get a shot of a power plant with lightning above it. I went down I-29 south of Counsil Bluffs and pulled of on a side road near the power plants. What I didn’t realize was the corn was six feet tall and completely blocking my view of the power plant!!! I should have known, growing up in Nebraska, but I thought I was just much shorter when I lived here before. Any way I put my tri-pod on the roof of my jeep and climbed up. I had a great view of the plant and the sky but very quickly realized I didn’t want to die trying to get this shot. I got down pretty quick and set up on the road. The Interstate was just far enough away to lite up the corn. The power plant made a nice glow under the clouds. So, as it often is, after all my plains went to to crap, I got a lucky and ended up with this.

    Thanks Ron. I added a short story in the description window of this shot as a reply to your comment. Check it out.
    By the way if your interested in any lightning photography, bubble mail me next spring. Two cameras are all ways better than one on nights like this.
