2015-03-31 Storm Niklas

With winds peaking at 150 kilometers (93 miles) per hour, Storm Niklas gave us quite an intense day. Meteorologists say Niklas is one of the most powerful storms of recent years. I hope nobody is badly hurt, as there have been quit some accidents with fallen trees, collapsing roofs, vehicles overturned by the wind, etc. This is a picture taken at the lakeside of our historic town, only a few steps away from my home. Huge waves like this are quit special on our small lake.
Yes: the storm warning light blinked on high speed.
Yes: I had some fun.
Yes: I got wet! Actually I was completely soaked to the bones.
Yes: the camera is safe. “She” is quite used to bear extreme conditions, since she is my buddy.
Wow, great photograph.

Fantastically broody clouds and wonderful water spray and waves. The trees look quite stalwart against the storm.
