We had great collection of incredible images in last month Dramatic Skies theme. This month’s cover goes to John Mumaw for his fantastic lightning strike taken from Muley Point.

Congratulation John! That is one spectacular shot.

I have to agree, that shot was a standout. Good job John.

Thanks, folks!
This is a real honor.

This image was taken last summer while the wind and rain were howling all around. Camera was set on a camera bag on the rocks, while pure luck and guesswork were 98% responsible for this result.

Thanks again!
