10 Awe-Inspiring Photos of Lightning
What better way is there to show both the beauty and power of nature than with these incredibly electrifying images of lightning? While sometimes it just takes being at the right place at the right time, like for amateur photographer Bertrand Kulik and his photo of a brightly illuminated Eiffel Tower, for others, like Dan Ransom, it requires carefully assembling a composite image or “stacking” multiple photos together to showcase a wild electrical storm (like the one Ransom stunningly captured at the Grand Canyon). Whether these magnificent shots were the result of luck, hard work or patience, they all give us a deeper appreciation for a part of nature we rarely get to see.

This is a rare meteorological phenomenon called a skypunch. When people see these, they think it’s the end of the world. Ice crystals form above the high-altitude cirro-cumulo-stratus clouds, then fall downward, punching a hole in the cloud cover.
It’s beautiful

Inspired by this post about Sherlock. While I haven’t seen The Avengers, I have picked up a lot of what has been said about it on Tumblr. I’ve wanted to do something like this for a while, but never got the chance.

I was just having a conversation with a friend the other day of how much Loki reminded me of Lucifer. Then I see this pic posted on another friend’s facebook shares. Also, Tony as Gabriel = priceless.
Perfect! <3
