Thanks for everybody's votes! My name is Jerry Cotten. I live in Lamesa, Texas and took this photo near my hometown. Lightning is one of my favorite subjects to photograph. The lightning was several miles behind the drilling rig, and the strikes were coming in the same spot each time. So, I lined up my camera on a tripod with the rig and strikes to capture this photo to look like the lightning was striking it. The company that owns the rig saw this and some other photos I took at sunrise with the rig on Facebook and ordered 4 huge prints to go in their corporate office!
