Taken while on the Holland Track
The goldfields- Western Australia

This is my favorite image from what turned out to be one of the most incredible nights in my life. The storms built up before our very eyes, then sparked up and went nuts! For most of the night we had storms like this run around us- the whole time having about 12 drops of rain fall on us!

More info on how I got to take this image can be found here
