Lightning strikes at night in Bisbee, Arizona, USA
Lightning. Night-time view of multiple bolts of lightning striking the ground in a city. Lightning occurs when a large, electrical charge builds up in a cloud. This is probably due to the rapid movement of water droplets and ice particles within the cloud. Large thunderclouds generally have very turbulent interiors. The charge induces an opposite charge on the ground, and a few " leader electrons" travel to the ground. When one makes contact, there is a huge backflow of energy up the path of the electron. This produces a bright flash of light and temperatures of up to 30, 000 degrees celsius. Photographed in Bisbee, Arizona, USA

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the raw power and beauty of nature's fury. Taken in Bisbee, Arizona, USA, it showcases a mesmerizing night-time view of multiple lightning bolts striking the ground within a city. Lightning is a spectacular phenomenon that occurs when an immense electrical charge builds up in a cloud. This buildup is often caused by the rapid movement of water droplets and ice particles within turbulent thunderclouds. As the charge intensifies, it induces an opposite charge on the ground below. A few brave "leader electrons" embark on their journey towards the earth's surface until one makes contact. The resulting backflow of energy along this path creates an awe-inspiring spectacle - a brilliant flash of light accompanied by temperatures reaching up to 30,000 degrees Celsius. The photograph not only highlights the sheer force behind these lightning strikes but also serves as a reminder of our planet's ever-changing climate and weather patterns. It evokes feelings of both astonishment and respect for Mother Nature's incredible power. Captured by Science Photo Library, this image stands as a testament to humanity's fascination with natural phenomena like storms and electrical storms specifically. It invites viewers to appreciate the magnificence found in even the most intense displays from above while reminding us to remain humble in front of such forces beyond our control.
