Anvil Cloud Lightning Over Tehran Thunderheads

by Haley Bright

Bright midday light illuminates a massive anvil cloud spreading across the sky, its flat top glowing white against a backdrop of stacked dark thunderheads. Internal lightning flashes within the cloud's core, casting sharp, transient blue-white lines that pierce the heavy gray mass. Frost coats the edges of the cloud formations and the distant horizon, creating a textured, crystalline boundary where the sky meets the land near Tehran. The scene adheres to the rule of thirds, with the lightning strike anchoring the right vertical line. Below, the stacked storm layers deepen in tone, showing rough, turbulent surfaces. A final streak of frozen vapor rests on the lower edge of the anvil, catching the sudden flash of light.
