Lightning strikes above the Wallace Monument in Scotland
Lightning illuminated the sky above the National Wallace Monument in Stirling, Scotland, in a spectacular scene amid thunderstorms on Sunday, 14 August.
Drone footage taken by photographer Thomas Lamont, who was standing in a field nearby, shows the lightning striking above the monument.
Lamont said he was lucky he was there at the right time.
“I was bringing the drone down because I thought the storm was getting a bit close, and just as I did the lightning struck and I managed to capture it,” Lamont said.
