EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Arnd Wiegmann showcases the sheer power and beauty of nature as lightning strikes over the urban cityscape of Zurich, Switzerland. Taken on a stormy night in May 2018, this modern exterior shot captures the essence of energy and electricity that fills the air during such intense weather conditions. The composition is truly remarkable, with the ominous clouds serving as a dramatic backdrop to the illuminated buildings below. The creative use of light lighting up different parts of the city adds depth and intrigue to this general view. With no people present, it emphasizes how small we are in comparison to the immense power of nature. The image perfectly encapsulates both danger and awe-inspiring beauty found in natural phenomena like lightning storms. It reminds us that even within busy urban environments, nature can still command attention with its atmospheric strength. Arnd Wiegmann's skillful photography allows viewers to appreciate not only architecture but also our vulnerability when faced with powerful forces beyond our control. This photograph serves as a reminder that amidst our daily routines, there is always room for appreciation for moments where nature asserts its dominance over man-made structures.
