Photograph by Randy Olson The photographer captured this electric storm while photographing sandhill cranes at Platte River, Nebraska in 2016. He shot a series of 30-second exposures through the night, hoping lightning would strike during one. The result: a dramatic and rare view of these iconic birds.
Of course you would expect to see rabbits, deer and squirrels at a Lake County Forest Preserve (LCFP). But how about elephants, lions and tigers?
Check out the close encounters of wild life as perfectly captured by the lens of some of the world’s top photographers. The photo exhibit went up May 24 at the LCFP’s Dunn Museum in Libertyville.
