Monsoon Season brings clouds, rain, and lightning to Monument Valley. On our last evening there, we gathered on the upper patio at The View as we watched a storm develop and pass across the valley. There were only a few spatters of rain but the cloud to cloud lightning lit up the sky. Occasionally a few bolts of lightning struck the ground. I used a MIOPS Lightning Trigger to capture the events as they unfolded before our eyes. An interesting cloud formation hung above Merrick Butte as a double bolt of lightning struck the ground in the distance.
