Desert thunderstorms were rather scant for my summer 2017 monsoonal trek, but not absent entirely! Sunset light painted the underside of a convective cloud shield that sporadically spit sparks across the distant desert landscape, as at far right. This was a pleasant way to supplement the storm day, after photographing downbursts and other outflow-dominant features a few miles closer to the Colorado River.
