Description
Lighting strikes over the city lights of Tucson, Arizona during a late-arriving monsoon in the summer of 2019.An incredible light show is displayed over the skyline of this southwestern city as cars snake along the Catalina Highway below. Webs of lightning streak across a foreboding sky as nocturnal cumulonimbus clouds unleash sheets of rain during a summer monsoon season thunderstorm.
The Catalina Highway, on its ascent to Mount Lemmon, affords beautiful panoramic views of the city from the Bobod Do'ag and Windy Point Vista pull outs. The lights of Tucson glowing amid the atmosphere of the storm, creating a stark, bright contrast with the deep shadow of the Catalina Mountains in front above Sabino Canyon.

Great capture of the storm, with the drama of the clouds set against the bright of the lights.
