Storm Cell Lightning Over Chihuahua Plain in across a storm-bright plain near Chihuahua

Storm Cell Lightning Over Chihuahua Plain

by Joanne Mullins

A towering thunder cell dominates the midday sky above the flat expanse of the Chihuahua plain. Bright white lightning forks from the dark, churning base of the cloud, casting a harsh, electric glow across the landscape. Low clouds of dust hover just above the cracked earth, illuminated by the sudden flash. The ground reflects the storm light, creating a shimmering surface of gray and silver tones. Sparse, dry grasses stand stiff against the wind, their muted browns against the violent white of the lightning. The horizon stretches endlessly, showing the isolation of the storm. A final bolt strikes the horizon line, leaving a lingering glow on the dust particles.
