 Taken NW of Norman, OK as a powerful squall line approached. Was hoping for cloud to ground lightning, but none occurred. This picture shows a tall high-tension power-line structure along with other power-lines coinciding with a large shelf-cloud ahead of the squall line. Lightning is lighting up the right hand side of this image. Hence, you have manmade and natures power all in one. Looks rather ominous, and the wind was howling at this point. Nature is amazing!

The power lines offer good lines (i guess thats a duh) but the image overall is a bit lacking. It doesnt grab my attention.

An attractive image well composed, though there is nothing particularly exceptional about the point of view here.
