EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking photo captures the power and beauty of nature as lightning illuminates the night sky above the Swiss Federal Palace in Bern. The contrast between the darkness of the surroundings and the electrifying lighting effect is truly mesmerizing. Stefan Wermuth's creative use of lighting showcases the ominous yet picturesque atmosphere created by this natural phenomenon. The Swiss Federal Palace, a government building, stands tall against a backdrop of stormy clouds, emphasizing its significance amidst the power of nature. With no people present in this shot, it allows us to fully appreciate and contemplate the force behind such an awe-inspiring display. The image highlights both danger and beauty in nature as bolts of electricity streak across the sky, creating an unforgettable spectacle. The river flowing peacefully below adds another layer to this scene, symbolizing tranquility juxtaposed with impending chaos. Wermuth's photograph serves as a reminder of how small we are compared to these forces beyond our control. It also reminds us that even within darkness, there is always light shining through. This snapshot captures not only a remarkable moment but also evokes a sense of wonder at Mother Nature's incredible power and her ability to create stunning displays like this one above Switzerland's iconic palace.
