Monsoon II

Arizona is known for its heat and gorgeous landscapes, but people often forget that during the summer months, powerful monsoon thunderstorms ravage the deserts and bring much needed rain to a dry climate. These storms produce heavy downpours, dense dust storms, intense lightning barrages and some of the most beautiful sunsets anywhere in the world. But when you are standing there in real time, you miss the motion, the life, and the way the atmosphere is churning the clouds all around you.
