Lightning on the Bay of Piran. Photo by Marko Korošec.

Some
quick facts about lightning: A typical lightning bolt lasts about a
quarter of a second, can reach 27.000 degrees Celsius (that’s hotter
than the sun) and, on average, injures more than five people a day.
Surprisingly, the majority of people who ride the lightning
survive. Even more surprisingly, you’re probably better off taking a
direct hit to the head than a strike that hits the ground and then
enters you from the bottom up.

But the most important fact about lightning is that it looks totally bitchin’. And that’s why Marko KoroÅ¡ec’s Weather Photo Gallery is such an absolute pleasure. He has a section devoted to lightning, including this great series of lightning bolts crackling around the Bay of Piran. There are also special sections for sunsets, clouds, and other weather phenomena. Most of the photos are taken in Slovenia, often in the town of Žirje,
which is near Italy and the coast. (His hometown, I presume.) The
quality is consistently excellent. It’s a fantastic collection.

(Thanks Mlaq!)

    … ride the lightning …
    Hmm… why do you put a link that talk about something else? It puzzles me.
    The lightning picture is beautiful. Honestly, I am not afraid of lightning, but very much scary of its sound travelling through the atmosphere!

    fxas, no discussion of lightning would be complete without
    mentioning Metallica’s seminal album Ride the Lightning. Especially for
    all us pimply-faced teenagers who used to sing along to For Whom the
    Bell Tolls..

    Spectacular photo, but its not the bay of Piran. It is Prosecco, Italy. Look at the shadow of the palm trees and the sandy beach!

    When I saw the title on the RSS, I was fully expecting to see a Metallica reference in there somewhere. Of
    course, I was hoping you wouldn’t bring the pimply-faced teenager bit
    into it, but I guess you just can’t stay away from the truth… Change
    it, Bevais, change it. Uhuh, uh-huh huh. (yeah pretty pathetic there)

    Awesome picture!! But I have to point out that what you see is the gulf of Trst/Trieste and not Piran! Maybe the bolt is ending out of Piran bay. :-)
