This exhilarating moment, where a flurry of lightning bolts came crashing down on the landmark, was captured by amateur photographer Daoud Fakhri while he was touring the capital during the wet and windy conditions. He was testing out a new lens for his camera by taking pictures of the historic bridge on the River Thames, when the storm hit, creating this amazing scene against a backdrop of dark grey clouds. Mr Fakhiri claimed the shot was completely unplanned and 'pure luck'. On the same day, Paul Bunch, 43, who works part time at Wolverhampton's Halfpenny Green airport control tower, captured a photo of a lightning bolt hitting the runway seemingly inches away from a plane. The aircraft was actually being taxied to a safer position, so it could be sheltered from the impending lightning strikes. (dailymail.co.uk) ANN.Az
