This print captures the raw power and beauty of nature as lightning strikes over buildings during a thunderstorm in Kathmandu. Taken on May 1,2011, by Navesh Chitrakar, this image showcases the strength and intensity of the storm against the backdrop of an urban city. The half-light of the night sky adds to the ominous atmosphere, while rooftops and open spaces provide a stark contrast to the electrifying energy that fills every corner. The creative use of purple hues emphasizes both danger and intrigue within this scene. With no people present, it becomes evident that this photograph focuses solely on showcasing the power of nature itself. The stormy sky filled with dark clouds serves as a reminder of how small we are compared to these natural forces. In this picture, one cannot help but marvel at how something as destructive as lightning can also possess such mesmerizing beauty. It is a testament to our planet's ability to create awe-inspiring moments even in its most dangerous forms. Navesh Chitrakar's skillful composition not only highlights the sheer force behind each bolt but also invites contemplation about our place in relation to nature's might. This image stands out among top pictures for its ability to evoke emotions ranging from fear to wonderment - reminding us all that there is immense power beyond our control.
