Caption   The setting sun, obscured by an orange curtain of falling rain and hail, appears beneath a brilliant bolt of purple cloud-to-cloud lightning. This dramatic yet beautiful scene was photographed on May 20, 2014, near the town of Bridgeport in the Nebraska panhandle. This photo was taken with a lightning detection device, which triggers a camera's shutter when a sudden increase in light level is seen.
