Lightning on a Sea of C​louds

Shot taken on August 31st 2011 from the Ca d'Asti hut (2.854 m), mount Rocciamelone SSW crest, Italy, overlooking a huge sea of clouds that during the blue hour was covering all the Susa valley below.

 

The lights from the city of Susa are filtering from beneath the clouds, creating a surreal atmosphere.

 

Far away, above the Cottian Alps mountain range, you can see the lightnings of a storm... even higher, in the blue sky, the Scorpius constellation.
