Last night I woke up at half four for big thunderstorm and was instantly glued to the window 😍


When I was a kid I used to be afraid of the thunder really bad, but with the help of my dad I learned to love and respect it. Nowadays anytime there's a chance to watch nature's light show I gladly enjoy it!


These pictures are actually screenshots of some videos I took last night. It's interesting to see frame by frame how the lightning moves on the sky ⚡
