I think somewhere along the line I was considering titling this "The Hand of God Only Strikes Once". But, somehow that doesn't feel quite right now. My thought was not that God's hand would be wrathful, rather that God's hand, like lightning, is transformative. Lightning is sometimes viewed as destructive. But, I don't see it this way. Lightning strikes are fundimental and necessary for a number of natural processes. They are fast (lightning fast!), powerful, and decisive. Once something is "touched" by lightning it is not possible to change it back to it's previous state. So it is with the hand of God.
I captured this photo while vacationing with friends in Rancho Mirage. One evening there was a fantastic storm happening toward the San Jacinto mountains. I put my camera on a tripod on the balcony, pointed it toward the storm, and waited.
