Double-Charged Storm

Twin bolts of lightning emanate from a cloud northeast of Cedar Rapids, Iowa around 8:50 PM, Sunday, October 23, 2011, as an autumn thunderstorm rages, seen from Bowman Woods Park. The storm, though appearing very close in this image, actually skirted east of the city and left nary a drop of rain at this location. The photo was captured shooting a 12-second exposure at f/3.5, 800 ISO and an 18mm focal length.
