I love lightning !
A lightning strike gives a vivid backdrop to the iconic Eiffel Tower. Amateur photographer Bertrand Kulik captured the shot on 28 July 2008 during a storm in the French capital.

Lightning always stikes the highest point in the landscpae - so lie down
Lightning is extremely hot—a flash can heat the air around it to temperatures five times hotter than the sun’s surface. Lightning is not only spectacular, it’s dangerous. About 2,000 people are killed worldwide by lightning each year. Hundreds more survive strikes but suffer from a variety of lasting symptoms, including memory loss, dizziness, weakness, numbness, and other life-altering ailments.
