Lightning Storm – Broomfield, Colorado
‘Imminent Large Hail Damage beginning at 8:55pm for your area’ is the message that came over my phone at 8:50. Strange….. I thought. Even with all of the other warnings we’ve had about tornados, I had never gotten one delivered like this. Thought at least I’d put the chickens away just to be safe. As soon as I walked outside a single nickel sized piece of hail hit in front of me and that’s when I saw the HUGE black wall above the trees to the north. Time to boogey! I had been working on another car inside the garage, so there was no room for my work truck. The chickens got the warning looooong before i did and were huddled together in their coop. without smart phones either.. go figure)
The hail was already getting more frequent, so I headed south away from the storm. The sun had set already, but lots of blue sky was still visible to the west and east of the cloud. The hail kept getting bigger and more frequent and i seemed to be driving right along with the cloud so i headed west once I got to the King Soopers grocery store at the top of the hill at the north edge of Broomfield. (after a 5min detour going east instead where the hail was much heavier. As soon as i crossed back over hwy 287 – the hail and even the dark cloud quickly thinned and disappeared leaving and AMAZING contrast of blue skies in one direction and the thunder storm in the other. It was such an amazing sight, I couldn’t help but be in awe, but also a bit bummed that i didn’t have my camera gear with me…. or did I??????
A quick check in the back seat revealed not just my gear but the PERFECT camera/tripod set-up for photos of lightning. Procrastination comes to the rescue!!!!!!
The end result is one of my favorite photos in years.
I hope you enjoy it as well. (will look incredible on metal or acrylic – i will be printing one for me too!)

Canvas Prints
 |
Canvas Wrap PRO is built with a solid, supported face which prevents sagging or warping over time. This feature ensures that your canvas will always look as tight and flat as the day it was made. Easy to clean too! (I’ve had these in my own home for almost 10 years, and have been easily able to even wipe them down with a warm damp rag without effecting the canvas in any way. |
Traditionally Stretched Canvas
 |
Traditionally-Stretched Canvas Wraps are constructed around a full hardwood frame and are hand-stapled with care, so they still have the tightest corners available. Hanging is a snap with pre-installed hardware and hanging kit. |
Wood Floating Frames
 |
The beautiful Floating Frames are sourced and crafted locally (in Longmont, Colorado) from high-quality, North American poplar wood, and are available in three signature colors: Black, brown, and white. |
Brushed Aluminium
 |
Printed directly on Brushed Aluminum, it’s natural luminosity will give your art an additional touch of the dramatic, allowing the metal to show through the white parts of the image. The finished floating mount frame is sure to add a clear sense of depth to your picture. |
Acrylic Pro
 |
An absolute conversation starter! Each incredibly high quality acrylic print features a specially designed mount frame that allows your photography to “float” off of the wall. |

Eye-catching Metal Prints are crafted on high-gloss metal and come ready to hang. Metal Prints come with an ultra-hard protective coating that is easy to clean.
