Finally, yesterday, I found the storms and captured some beautiful lightning strikes. Of the 20, or so, images with strikes in them, this is my favorite. It has everything I love about Monsoon and my home in the southern Arizona high desert in it.

I love that this is an image of the two highest peaks, Miller and Carr, in the Huachuca Mountains. I love that the higher of the two, Miller, is in full detail while its little brother sits in the shroud of rains haze. I love that the lightning strike slams the mountainside in violent beauty while its feeder arms branch out in search of victims of their own. I love that in all this turmoil and powerfull destruction, just on the other side of the summit, there is still view of the clear sky shining through. Like a gateway of hope, it beckons one forward.

For me, this image is a reminder that when reaching for the highest peaks, one may encounter violent obstacles that seemingly make victory unattainable. But, sometimes, if one pushes onward in faith to the other side, they will witness all the glory, joy, and serenity promised in His word. I remain His scribe.
