Thunderstorm with Lightning Strike at the Grand Canyon

I usually pay attention to weather forecasts when out in the field but on this evening I was taken by surprise as a fast-moving thunderstorm came in quickly and dropped rain and hail while standing at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. I huddled underneath a small juniper tree with my tripod and backpack while the tourists scattered to their vehicles, and after the storm passed onto the North Rim I walked back to the edge and made this image, all alone for a few sublime minutes.

Thanks for checking it out.

Cheers,
Ross
