Lightning from Ramsgate – September 2022 Storms
What a storm!!
It’s still rumbling now. It was so special to gather with people on the cliff top, perhaps 30 or more silhouettes in the dark, gathered with the storm unifying us all in awe of the force of nature.
It was way out to France travelling from the west, eastwards. It was warm and just so special to watch it al at a distance.
The photos along this collection were shot nearer the start when so many stars were visible above the storm clouds!
When I got back to edit the images, I realised that The Milky Way was gently visible in the right hand side of the photos and in a couple, shooting stars had flown through!
It started to rain a little, perhaps 10 mins max, I ran home at that point. And then it stopped and the storm continues to rage on as I write this.
I’ve added the images to my Print Shop here: https://printshop.rebeccadouglas.co.uk/art/lightning

About me
Hey my love, I’m Rebecca, a visual storyteller, unleashing the power of photo and video to rewilding our connection to nature.
By illuminating the liminal space where myth, magick and intellect meet, we ignite collective curiosity, enchantment and awe to empower the healing of people and planet.
My work as a photographer and ocean storyteller has taken me from the wild coasts of Scotland to the wild edges of Iceland.
It was with immense gratitude and a sense of deepening purpose that a story I captured gain 2nd Place in the Conservation (Impact) category for Ocean Photographer of the Year 2024.
As President of the Board of Trustees for Whale Wise and a Marine Mammal Medic with BDMLR, I advocate for our blue planet through powerful visuals and purpose-driven narratives.
Together, let’s embrace the wild edges where of people, place, and planet meet.
