Storm Clouds | Storm over the Badlands Thunderstorms often rumble over the Great Plains during summer. While driving into the Badlands NP near the front gate, this storm became visible from the road. After pulling off the road, I just grabbed the camera, pointed it west, and ripped a burst of images. Luckily, one image captured the lightning strike.

Storm Clouds | a 7 Image Story Storm clouds fascinate many people including me. Most of us can not just go out and find a nice storm to photograph. Good storm images tend to be captured on the fly while photographing something else. The photographer happens to be at the right place at the right time. These 7 images were all captured while I was doing something else. All of the sudden I looked up and there was the scene right in front of me. In these moments, it really pays off to have a decent camera nearby. So, what was I doing before capturing these images?
- While conducting a pre-flight inspection on the airplane, I looked over the cowling only to see a storm out to the west.
- While driving into the Badlands NP near the front gate, a thunderstorm became visible from the road.
- While watching a polo match, I turned around to see a storm coming toward an Illinois farm behind me.
- While hiking through the high desert countryside, the storm grew over the Absaroka Range.
- While having a picnic lunch during a drive through Yellowstone, a storm blew up.
- While looking for a place to park at a restaurant on Lake Mitchell, this storm was looming over the western horizon.
- While taking a walk to see the sunset over the lake before thunderstorms arrive from the north, I noticed this lone chair and the lone thunderstorm south of the lake.
