In this print titled "Lightning Storm over Las Vegas" captured by Ethan Miller, the electrifying power of nature is on full display. The image showcases a dramatic scene as bolts of lightning strike east of the iconic hotels and casinos lining the famous Las Vegas Strip in Nevada. Taken on a late August evening in 2003, this photograph immortalizes a powerful thunderstorm that unleashed its fury upon the city. Within just 90 minutes, an astonishing three inches of rain poured down on the northwest section of Las Vegas, resulting in widespread flooding and leaving many motorists stranded. The composition perfectly captures the contrast between man-made structures and Mother Nature's raw force.
