Fractal Lightning Storm Over Costa Rican Rainforest

A jagged network of white lightning fractures the gray sky, illuminating the dense canopy of a Costa Rican rainforest below. Soft, overcast light diffuses through heavy fog that rests on the treetops, muting the greens into deep emerald and olive tones. The electrical branches spread diagonally across the frame, creating sharp tension against the heavy, wet clouds. Rain streaks are barely visible in the air, merging with the mist to blur the distance between the storm and the forest floor. The intricate, glowing veins of the bolt stand out starkly against the muted background, ending abruptly at the edge of the cloud layer where the light fades into gray.
