EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a breathtaking moment as lightning strikes over the vibrant city of Kobe in Japan. Taken on May 26,2002, this image showcases the raw power and beauty of nature's fury. The electrifying display coincided with an international friendly match between England and Cameroon earlier that day, adding an intriguing juxtaposition to the scene. Intriguingly, despite the intense weather conditions, both teams managed to draw with a score of 2-2. This photograph serves as a reminder of how unexpected events can unfold even amidst turbulent circumstances. Photographer Dan Chung skillfully captured this awe-inspiring moment without requiring any rights clearances or permissions for its use. His ability to freeze time allows viewers to appreciate the sheer force and magnificence of lightning striking against the backdrop of Kobe's urban landscape. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded of nature's unpredictable yet mesmerizing wonders. It serves as a testament to human resilience in face of adversity and offers us a glimpse into the extraordinary moments that can occur when worlds collide – in this case, sportsmanship intertwining with Mother Nature's grand spectacle.
