On most chases, after the sun has set, the second chase begins. Chasing Lightning into the late hours of the night can be exciting, relaxing, and rewarding. May 23rd, 2021 was a long chase day throughout the state of Colorado. After traveling over 500 miles during the day, I turned south out of Burlington, Colorado to position for some lightning photos. Passing through Cheyenne Wells, Colorado, I headed west to a promising side road for some lightning photos. Turning off of the highway, I realized I was in a bad situation; deep eastern Colorado mud. My car was stuck. Ignoring the mud issue, I set up my camera and tripod and began taking photos. After an hour of photographing, I captured a beautiful bolt jumping out of the rear of the storm. The bolt spanned throughout the storm and eventually grounded just south of the town. The composition was perfect; lightning, storm structure, the moon and faint stars, and an empty Colorado road. Now to dig out from the mud.
