I've been researching different natural phenomenon that I could incorporate into my imagery. I came across "Relámpago del Catatumbo" Catatumbo lightning. This lightning is located on the mouth of the atatumbo river at Lake Maracaibo (Venezuela), the phenomenon is a cloud-to-cloud lightning that forms a voltage arc more than five kilometers high during 140 to 160 nights a year, 10 hours a night, and as many as 280 times an hour. Interestingly enough, this storm occurs over the marshlands where the Catatumbo River feeds into Lake Maracaibo and it is considered the greatest single generator of ozone in the planet, (this is judged from the intensity of the cloud-to-cloud discharge and great frequency.) The storm is also known as the Maracaibo Beacon as light has been used for navigation by ships for ages.
