worth noting that this is likely a long exposure of several tens of minutes, you dont see that many lightning at once.

TIL Catatumbo lightning (Spanish: Relámpago del Catatumbo) is an atmospheric phenomenon that occurs over and around Lake Maracaibo in Venezuela, typically over a bog area formed where the Catatumbo River flows into the lake. Catatumbo means “House of Thunder” in the language of the Barí people. It originates from a mass of storm clouds at an altitude of more than 1 km (0.6 mi), and occurs for 140 to 160 nights a year, nine hours per day, and with lightning flashes from 16 to 40 times per minute. The phenomenon sees the highest density of lightning in the world, at 250 per km2. In summers, the phenomenon may even occur as dry lightning without rainfall.

Okay, who angered the Elden Lord Dragon?
This is where you hunt electric eels
Shocking.

How often does this happen?
Somebody needs to put a power plant there and harness that energy.
I’ve dodge lightning 200x in a row across all platforms.

An incredible phenomenon. The most electric place on earth.
It’s actually Lake Utah, taken from approximately this location in Google Maps:

Google Maps Coordinates: 40.32539419569462, -111.7321207872658 (facing approx. southwest)
This was multiple lightning strikes occurring over a period of time, which were then “stacked” in editing, by a photographer called Bill Church.
Fuck those lake denizens in particular.
That’s fuckin Mordor mate
Badass

There’s probably a couple fields of Fulgurbloom flowers there. ⚡️🏵
Much like rainy season here in central FL, until very recently the lightning capital of the US (at least).
I could beat that in a fight
Shocking.
