Spring-like Autumn

Lightning lashes from the underside of a rolling bank of clouds as torrential rain falls behind it around 8:50 PM, Sunday, October 23, 2011. The spring-like thunderstorm was created from spring-like conditions, which included temperatures in the lower 60s. This view looks northeast from Bowman Woods Park in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Two storm systems passed to the west and east of Cedar Rapids, missing the city, with the eastern system being much more extensive in size. This was an 8-second exposure at f/3.5, 800 ISO and an 18mm focal length.
