Mojave Mystic
by David Doe
Driving back from San Diego to Denver I saw a storm brewing and pulled over to take a picture of the rainbow and got the lightening as well. It was about 5pm on the Mojave Desert
Equipment: Nikon D-80
David Doe
I love photography and use a Nikon D-80 to help me find the right shots.
