Lightning Storm over Bryce Canyon, Utah

A distance lightning storm graces the horizon above Bryce Canyon in Utah. The image was captured on a fixed tripod with an exposure of 30 seconds. Since the view is facing towards the East, no easily distinguishable constellations are visible. However, if you look closely, you may be able to pick out the Zodiac constellations of Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. The summer Milkyway is located off frame to the right.
