I have a profound interest in any kind of art, whether that be music, theater, animation, or photography.

I have recently stumbled onto this natural phenomenon, which has absolutely BLOWN my mind. I hope you all find this as spectacular as I do!

The Dirty Thunderstorm
-A dirty thunderstorm is a weather phenomenon that occurs when lightning is produced in a volcanic plume.


Added spoiler out of courtesy. Enjoy!

That is just truly incredible. Just when you think Earth can't surprise you any more, a lightning storm forms out of a volcanic plume.

That's just amazing, I'm sure it would be so incredibly intense to see in real life. The world is just awesome.

And yeah, I feel the same way. Earth is so amazing, it will never, ever, cease to blow my mind. I was driving to my girlfriends house last night through the country, and I couldn't stop looking out the window and just admiring nature's beauty!

interesting, i thought that these pics were fake when i first saw them, but i guess it makes a lot of sense for there to be a thunderstorm in a volcanic plum because of the ash in the air creating pathing and friction?
