We all love to use electricity, and we thank Edison for just flipping a switch to light up the room. But there are electrical discharges that frighten a person. It's about lightning. The famous natural phenomenon has repeatedly become the cause of all kinds of destruction. Either the discharge hits a tree, or spoils the wiring, or touches a flying plane.
It can be very difficult to protect yourself from lightning, as it is difficult to predict its occurrence. But there are people who are not only not afraid of the consequences of a thunderstorm, but also look forward to them. We are talking about photographers who take great pleasure in shooting lightning from various angles. The most interesting shots illustrating a natural phenomenon are presented in our review.
By the way, the consequences of lightning strikes are very diverse. For example, when the discharge hit a huge oak tree located in the French village of Allouville-Belfoss, local residents organized a Catholic chapel there. Moreover, the tree itself also began to recover from damage and overgrow with new leaves. As a result, the chapel was surrounded by numerous branches, which further emphasized the unusual structure.
The famous oak survived the Hundred Years War, the Reformation, the Jacobin terror (by the way, it was at this time that the authorities were going to cut down the tree, but the locals stood up to protect it), the reign of Napoleon. Today centuries-old oak and catholic chapellocated inside, recognized as a national treasure of France.

Japanese photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto loves to capture nature, weather and unusual landscapes. More precisely, he shoots ordinary landscapes, only from such an angle and in such a style that they become unusual.
