Frozen Lightning Over Fuel Cans

Blue-gray morning light washes over a naval deck in Peshawar where rows of military fuel cans stand in strict order. Steady rain sheets across the metal surfaces, creating silver streaks that reflect the heavy sky. Above the orderly cans, a jagged bolt of lightning hangs frozen in mid-air, its branching tendrils sharp and unmoving against the misty dawn. The wind whips the water into horizontal lines, yet the electrical discharge remains suspended in perfect clarity. Wet canvas covers nearby equipment while rust spots gleam on the nearest can. One droplet rests on the rim of a can, mirroring the frozen electric veins above it.
