Autumn Lightning Strike Over Poznan City

Soft gray light falls through heavy overcast skies above the rooftops of Poznan in peak autumn. A jagged fork of lightning splits the dark clouds, illuminating the tops of trees with yellow and orange leaves. The cityscape stretches across the lower third, featuring brick facades and slate roofs typical of the region. Wet pavement reflects the pale daylight, while distant buildings fade into the mist. The bolt creates a sharp white line against the charcoal clouds, ending at the edge of a church spire where the sky meets the urban horizon.
