Wild lightning through dynamic clouds, lights on the coast. Powerfull nature sends some greetings before night swallows it all.

Hello Jean. Congratulations on this wonderful storm capture. I really love the clouds lit up like this and the lighting is magic. Because the source of lighting comes from inside the clouds it has created a real three dimensional effect. I really like this one Jean. Do you mind if I add it to my favorites... oh yeah! Thanks for sharing!

This is a jaw dropping shot! Just incredible, the way the lightning has lit up the clouds is very, very beautiful, and the shot is awe inspiring, showing the power and beauty of nature. Superb!

wow.

the reflection of the clouds on the water, and the definition that the waters edge gives, add a lot to this that "land only" storm shots miss.

really nice.

Bravo Jean-Michel,

LS

Wonderful decisive moment to get the lightening transforming it into something unique. Thanks for providing another picture for my collection of favorites.
Cheers, Peter

Hello,
Its a great shot, can be a comparison between two types of light.
natural and artificial
Thanks for sharing

Très belle photo, Jean Michel. Outre le fait d'avoir réussi à capturer les éclairs, la couverture nuageuse est impressionnante et les couleurs de l'ensemble superbes...avec le petit plus de ces villages éclairés.
Amicalement
JJ

Bonjour Jean Michel,
Quelle photo... Directement dans mes favorites. La pose est parfaite, les petits villages soignent la composition et le déclenchement au moment parfait. D'une rare beauté

Hi,
Amazing view !

Hi Jean Michel

What a great capture. The POV and colurs are superb, but for me the inclusion of the shoreline, with lights in the houses, and the detail in the clouds make this an exceptional shot. Bravo. TFS

BONJOUR?

Une superbe photo où l'on peut y voir les éclairs, rarissime , un beau partage
