Lightning Strike Over Mongolian Thunderheads Night

by Cash Boyd

A jagged bolt of electric white lightning fractures the deep indigo sky above a Mongolian desert horizon. Below, a dense wall of stacked thunderheads rises in heavy, dark layers, their tops catching a faint rim light from the flash. The ground beneath is a flat, shadowed expanse of late summer earth, barely visible in the profound darkness. The sky remains perfectly clear around the storm, isolating the violent discharge against the vast night. Dark textures of the cloud formations contrast sharply with the bright, branching path of the lightning. The edge of the nearest cloud bank glows with a thin, sharp line of light.
