DescriptionA black and white photograph of a man in a hardhat and latex gloves using handheld lightning detectors held to his eyes like binoculars. One hand rests on his hip while the other holds the lightning detection device. Two long metal rods project more than a foot from each "lens." Two metal scaffolding structures appear in the background on the side of a hill, with clouds filling the sky.
