Driving into a storm in 1700 metres altitude

Nature is so overwhelming sometimes. As somebody who prefers the concrete jungle, going to a place like the Gran Sasso in Italy gets me every time. Nature is just so marvelous up there. As we drove up there the other day, a thunder storm suddenly broke out, and lightening struck just behind our car resulting in loud gasps. Outside, the cows just kept on walking around with their bell-collars that rang through the thunder.

Everything was sunny in the little town of Santo Stefano di Sessanio.

But as we drove back up to Gran Sasso, the clouds had gathered.

It was a marvelous sight.
