Picture of the Day for August 20, 2017

There may not have been much color in the sunset tonight, but the southern sky was displaying some red and white lightning from a storm that was 45 miles away. People often refer to it as heat lightning as no thunder is heard, but is really is just lightning from the distant thunderstorms, sometimes 100 miles away, in which sound cannot carry that far.
