Details:
I stepped outside into this evening's twilight (May 26th), and thought I saw lightning to the northwest. Just last night, we had a windstorm that roared through our neighborhood that brought down a few trees and left us without power for almost 11 hours.
I walked up to the corner to get a better look, and spotted a growing supercell producing spectacular lightning.
I got the camera and headed to a country road with a clear NW horizon, but by the time I got there the clear, counterclockwise structure of the rotating updraft had become obscured. This was the best of a short series of images I made before the sky went dark.
In the upper left are the short trails of the twin stars Castor and Pollux of Gemini in this 75 second exposure with a 24 mm lens @ f/5.6 at ISO 100.
