Red sprites are massive, faint flashes of red or orange light that appear high above powerful thunderstorms.

Ghost Sprites & Red Sprites... so rare. So beautiful, when captured.

Goodnight. ✌️

“Rare red sprites dancing over the tidal flats of Western Australia. A large sprite like this exists for 10 milliseconds, up to 40x faster than an eye blink. This makes photographing them challenging and requires very dark skies. The central sprite is unusual. It’s known as a ‘jellyfish’ sprite, the largest and fastest of all sprites.”

"Loneliness is the feeling that one is not complete alone. What if it turns out nothing is missing at all? What if nothing changes when another person is near?"
