Lightning Storm Over Coastal Mountains - Nature’s Electrifying Display #2279732 (License: Personal Use)

This breathtaking photograph captures a massive mesoscale convective system unleashing countless horizontal lightning bolts across the sky, illuminating the cloud base and reflecting off the calm sea below. The foreground features a steep, dark volcanic cliff face, contrasting sharply with the fiery electric display, while distant ships or buoys glow faintly on the water. The scene likely occurred during a nocturnal supercell event over a coastal region prone to intense electrical activity.
