Lightning storm over the Garden of the Gods Park in Colorado Springs.
Photo Title: Down From Heaven
Garden of the Gods Park transforms into a dramatic amphitheater of natural power when storm clouds gather over its iconic red rock formations. This striking photograph captures a rare moment when lightning pierces the turbulent sky, creating a powerful dialogue between earth and atmosphere. The jagged bolt of electricity echoes the angular forms of the sandstone sentinels below, while storm clouds add layers of moody drama to the scene.

The resulting image captures both the timeless quality of the landscape and the fleeting power of a summer storm.
