One kind of lightning is a connection between two charged clouds. But you asked
where it "lands", so you must be thinking about the other kind.
Lightning is a connection between a charged cloud and the Earth. If there are
objects around that can provide an easy path to the Earth, like trees, houses,
skyscraper buildings, or steel radio towers, then lightning will take advantage of
them and use them for part of its path. But even if there's nothing around that's
any higher than the ground, and the lightning is forced to make the entire trip
through air, it'll do that, and eventually connect the charged cloud to the Earth.
I've written this carefully, to avoid any reference to one direction or the other,
because lightning can travel up, from the ground to the cloud, just as easily as
it can travel down, from the cloud to the ground.
