The final day, and we needed to find one last place to visit. To complicate it a bit more we required the location to be between Tuscon and Phoenix. The only place that looked interesting was Picacho Peak. In the middle of nowhere, it stood like a brave final mountain soldier before the desert flats. We got some great shots. But the real show was behind us. A dust storm preceding a rain storm turned the horizon into a dramatic painting. It all came together when I captured this lightning strike on the mountain. We LOVE Arizona.
