Calamity
Lightning streaks through the skies over the Silvi Concrete factory in Downingtown, Pennsylvania.

I've attempted to shoot lightning before and it's quite a undertaking. You basically have to mount your camera on a tripod, take a decent guess at the exposure, and open the shutter for at least 30 seconds to catch a potential amount of strikes. Add some good luck and an area where lightning strikes are common and I think you have the recipe for shots like this one. Really cool shot!
