Caption   A brilliant bolt of lightning strikes a farm field in rural western Oklahoma south of Woodward. In the foreground, a ripe crop of wheat can be seen, while in the background, an industrial center appears on the horizon. This photo was taken with a lightning detection device, which triggers a camera's shutter when a sudden increase in light level is seen.
