Lightning is one of natures most beautiful displays of power and raw energy. We have lots of it here in Sedona Arizona USA however it mostly occurs every summer during the North American Monsoon season. Convective thunderstorms are a product of the sun heating the earth and subsequent convection of the moisture filled air above it. High pressure rotation and sometimes low pressure rotation cause's the sub-tropical air to flow north into Arizona bringing with it the chemistry that produces amazing thunderstorms. This image is being entered in daveks BW photo contest and was shot on film with a canon A2-E camera.

I just saw @apolymask talking about his dad's great photo and I had to come and have a look. Plus, I just haven't been over to see you lately, but think of you every time I see a fantastic sunset in Mexico, take a picture, look at it and think, @irvinesimages would have done a way better job than me here!! :)
This one is pretty fantastic, although seriously, all of yours are :) Hope you are well!

Hello Lynn, Its wonderful to get promoted by my son he does a great job. I hope all is well with you and your family. Spring break is over now and things are getting back to normal. Its been nonstop busy for about three months, so that feels good. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and compliments.

It is always a pleasure seeing your work, and yes, @apolymask is an awesome promoter of your work. He is obviously very proud of it and also you, I think :)
Things are as well as to be expected with me; I'm not sure if you knew, but my husband has cancer, not doing great, but we are enjoying every day that life has to offer us. And I'm a little slow on the uptake sometimes, but how is Spring Break affecting you? I was a teacher for years and understand your statement completely, but I'm just not really 'getting' it :)
I wish my voting power was longer lasting, because I often look at your photos but don't comment because I also can't upvote, but if it's ok with you, I'll stop by more often and just comment! I love them. Brian (my husband) and I took a road trip several years ago across the States and your photos remind me so much of our travels through your area! It's always exactly the way I remember it, and nothing like the photos we took haha

Yes I am aware of your husbands condition and offer my best wishes for recovery.
Spring break is at the heart of sedona's busiest tourist season of the year. My business is mostly tourist oriented and every year at Spring break town fills with people and traffic and business takes off and that's where the work comes in. Its the time of year when so many different things happen at once and every year I become overwhelmed during this time but relief doesn't usually come until around the end of may.
Voting power doesn't matter that much but spirit power does. Your comments are always welcome with or without a vote. And thank you for the comments.

Thank you for your well wishes; I appreciate that very much!
I have live in "tourist" destinations before, and it's a blessing and a curse all rolled up into one :)
Spirit Power...I absolutely love that. Thank you ;)
