STRIKING photos capture nature at its most raw and powerful during Earth’s most electrifying event. Shot over the Grand Canyon and even downtown Los Angeles, these amazing images of lightning were taken by American photographer Scott Stulberg, 57. His love of lightning led him to move to the state of Arizona, renowned for its high frequency of storms. ‘No matter where I am, I always feel like a little kid again when I see lightning,’says Scott, of Sedona, Arizona.
