Thunderstorm Over the Coast - Lightning Strike at Dusk #2280046 (License: Personal Use)

A massive, branching lightning bolt erupts from turbulent violet-hued storm clouds, striking near the water’s edge. Silhouetted palm trees line the coast, their fronds swaying slightly in the wind, while faint artificial lights from nearby structures reflect softly on the rippling sea surface. The scene captures the dramatic tension between serene tropical calm and sudden atmospheric fury.
