Title: "Cloud to Ground and Hitting Wind Turbine"
Place: Euskirchen, Germany
Date: 2009-07-22 @ 01:04:03
Description: A strong line of storms developed over the Eiffel in Germany, approaching from the west and moving towards Cologne. This day brought us lots of supercells over Belgium, The Netherlands and Germany. This double cloud-to-ground was taken from far using a telephoto lens. The left lightning channel strikes one of the wind turbines on the Eiffel hills in the distance. The return strokes lit the blades up repeatedly.
