Electric Photograph
Local photographer Rachel Plant submitted this photo of last weekend’s noisy storm saying, “whenever there is a storm that comes into town, I love to try to catch as many lightning shots as possible. Word of Life Church parking lot is the best place around I have found to take these because it is up on the hill and you have a great view from there. There is something very powerful about watching a storm roll in or fade away.”
