Greece Lightning

published 30 December 2010

The world is ending. The Gods have finally had enough and are wiping us out.

Okay so we're lying. But we had you, right? Well photographer and all-round Photoshop-magician Chris Kotsiopoulos had us too.

During a severe thunderstorm over the Olympic Stadium in Athens, he took 42 shots within 30 minutes and captured 51 bursts of lightning. Using digital trickery, he then combined the shots and created this incredible image.

It's further proof that storms are far more exciting than any stupid heatwave.
