A severe storm developed over the Mediterranean coast, next to the Camargue region. An impressive mesocyclone with lots of CG lightning approached my position.

The most photogenic supercell of 2019. Probably the most photogenic supercell we chased this year

This was one beautiful badass horse. It was more interested in the storm chasers lined up along the fence than the huge supercell looming behind it! We made tracks as the gust front hit, hoping the horse found some shelter

A large cumulonimbus has developed a few kilometers from the center of the city of Salerno

The Roanne storm cell approached my position. Some cows made a graceful pose for the picture.

Thunderstorm with a nice shelf cloud in southern Germany.

Anvils of cold air mass thunderstorms at setting sun

After I watched another supercell during that evening, a new storm arrived with a trajectory about ten kilometers further north. So I took the direction of Digoin.

Lightning storm in Savelletri / Selva di Fasano, Brindisi in southern Italy

This was the beginnings of the Imperial Mothership supercell. Right from the word ‘go’ it was extremely photogenic

This storm over the North Adriatic intensified rapidly and very soon took the form of a mothership structure

On the Mont Bouquet I watched the evacuation of a strong and isolated storm.

This is one frame of beautiful bolts & probably one of the best lightning shots I’ve ever taken

“The lonely one”

Some nice deep convection with positive lightning which was a bit obscured but i love the combination

Seems like the sky is taking the picture over me

A storm system in the south of France drains off to the Riviera. From the Calanques the sky becomes clear, with the illuminated cumulonimbus far away.

An isolated thunderstorm has formed after a very hot and dry afternoon near the Cevennes mountains.

Positive lightning jumps from the top of the explosive updraft over the Trieste gulf

This amazing, ground-scraping, tornado-warned monster of a supercell was coming straight for us at this point
