A combination of falling rain in the core and flying dust in front rendered a ghostly effect to this sparkling scene between Tucson and Phoenix. The outflow-belching, dust-kicking multicellular thunderstorm cluster trained along its long axis, presenting me with the opportunity to photograph dozens of cloud-to-ground strikes from one spot. As for the red stripe, that was a taillight on a vehicle headed northbound out of Eloy, with the time exposure starting when the vehicle was behind the tree at distant center.
