A few days ago, we had a very intense electrical thunderstom in Thessaloniki Greece. I went out to capture this amazing phenomenon which gave us more that 2000 thunders in two hours! I was both scared and inspired at the same time from the intensity of the storm. This year we had a lot of storms like these happening and this is something that comes maybe once every 10 years. The power of nature is amazing and hopefully one day we can harness it for our own benefit.
Clear skies to all (OK sometimes cloudy skies are also interesting!)
