Two photographers have captured these awe-inspiring photographs of the immense storms that have spread across the southern US states this summer.
Photographer Rolf Maeder captured a series of low exposure shots of multiple lightning strikes on the Grand Canyon, when he was travelling in the US in August. "On the Moran Point we noticed that far away a lightning storm was building up," Maeder explains. "That was much more than we expected, so we started setting up our tripods and started to take pictures."
Storm chaser Marko Korosec captured a series of breathtaking images of storms on a 26-day tour through America's Tornado Alley.
The photographs were taken across Texas, Kansas and Colorado, each from around a kilometre away.
