Nature Behind the Art
"Lightning at Lovund"
Lovund is a small island on the Helgeland coast in northern Norway, surrounded by the Norwegian Sea, small islands and mountains.
On this evening, dark clouds covered parts of the sky, while the horizon around Lovund was still clear. Then, suddenly, lightning struck over the sea.
Moments like this are difficult to plan. The light, the weather and the lightning came together for only a few seconds - and then the scene was gone.
Take another look. How different would the photograph feel without the lightning?

Did you know? Lightning can strike more than 15 kilometres away from a thunderstorm - far from where the rain is falling. In rare cases, it can strike more than 40 kilometres away.
