Patterns in Nature

Tucson, AZ view map

I went up to Mt. Lemmon to try to catch some lightning activity
that was going to bypass Tucson. Most of this activity was way off
in the distance but I was able to catch this fairly decent scene.
The sky illumination is from the relatively full Moon poking through.

Dramatic and beautiful. I like the interest of the trees and far off view from the top. V.

marvellous scene...the forked lighting seems the inverse negative image of the agonized tree..a unique pairing of patterns...V
