Bright Idea

As I was getting my beauty rest, I was stirred awake by someone clapping their hands outside my tent and turning on and off a huge flashlight. Or so I thought until I peeked outside and caught a glimpse of this thunderstorm passing right through the campground. Being the smart person that I am, I tried to go back to sleep. Then I remembered something about how getting electrocuted wasn't a good thing and how being in a car with its fancy pre-made Faraday cage might offer better protection than my tent. So I made the move and locked the doors in case the lightning was planning on breaking in.

I waited it out watching the show from my car window until I got an even better idea. Dawn was approaching so why not go back outside, grab some stuff made of metal, stand up straight, and actually take a picture of this. Fittingly, Dead Horse Point wasn’t far so I raced to get there first. I barely got there in time to set up before Mr. Thunder and Mrs. Lightning arrived. Both were pretty pissed off. I didn't want to get in the middle of that argument, so I retreated back to my car once again. Thinking that it was a once in a lifetime opportunity and a little nosy to see what all the fuss was about, I convinced myself to get back out there. I was only able to fire off a handful of frames as I ran back and forth to my car. You know, to change lenses and stuff.
