Shooting wind, lightning strikes, rain, tornados, waves, volcanos and stormy weather produces dramatic atmosphere and soft scenes as well.
Today we would like to share with you a round-up of some 30 truly brilliant photos and stunning pictures which are sure to have you marveling at the world around you.

1. Angry Nature Scenes
- Rust and Surf
This was taken back in February 2008, the last day that it rained a measurable amount in San Francisco! This was on the bay-side of the bridge, the Pacific Ocean is on the other side of the bridge to the left.
- Ride the Lightning
- Wellie Weather
High tide and wind brought out the surfers out in force and fortunately there was a westerly wind so all the spray was being blown out to sea.
- Cirrus clouds above deadfall
- Light waves
Stormy weather at Freshwater Bay
- Ghost Rider In The Sky
Circumhorizontal arc or circumhorizon arc (CHA), also known as a fire rainbow, is a halo or an optical phenomenon similar in appearance to a horizontal rainbow, but in contrast caused by the refraction of light through the ice crystals in cirrus clouds.
- Weather
This was taken in near a place called Ry in Denmark
- Lighting strikes the city
The light coming from the background is bratislava, right behind the border of austria.
- Mount Etna lava flow
Often lava doesn’t flow on the surface, but it flows in so called lava tubes. Lava on the surface of the flow cools down and builds a crust, while in the inner part, the lava stays hot and flows on quickly.
- Lightning Over Water
- Magma Blast and Electric Lightning Bolt
Rare and surreal static electric lightning flashes through a massive column of steam, sulfur dioxide, glass particles, ash, rock and instantly created black sand – all generated from a huge volume of molten lava dumping out of a single lava tube that carried it from magma chambers under the flanks of Mauna Loa’s Kilauea volcano further upslope on Island of Hawaii
- Horizontal Twister
A long and thin cloud which looked like a wet shirt being wringed out of water. As strange as that was there’s more to it, the cloud was rotating around it’s own axel and twisting even more and more.
- Morning Rainstorm
A long and thin cloud which looked like a wet shirt being wringed out of water. As strange as that was there’s more to it, the cloud was rotating around it’s own axel and twisting even more and more.
- Lava lake inside Kilauea volcano
Lava lake inside Kilauea volcano’s West Gap crater. The whole crust covering the lake has just been overturned, exposing the red hot glowing interior.
- A World Of Colors
Icelandic sky
- Thunderhead
- Perfect Storm
- The Wrath of God
- The Grand Prismatic Spring
he Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park is the largest hot spring in the United States, and the third largest in the world
2. Soft Nature Scenes
- From East to West; New Brighton
- Lonely Planet
- Midnight on the flats
- Otherworldly
- Starstation Earth
- THE EMERALD ISLE
- Under The Rainbow
- Pokhara Underground
- Un atardecer en la playa
