No, there wasn’t the need to call “Mayday” (an emergency procedure word used internationally as a distress signal in voice-procedure radio communications) last night. But for sure the 1st of May started with a bang in Genoa, with a front of thundershowers moving in from the sea after three very nice and rather warm spring days.
I took this photograph while sitting on the balcony of our “South” home with a glass of a very good Italian Red, and I captured it with my iPhone 14 Pro. In all fairness, it took me about 60 attempts to finally catch the lightning, and what a nice one it was. Soon after the shot, the rain started pounding and the spectacle was over. It’s still raining, so we’re having a rather wet Mayday. But who would complain about enjoying a very lazy public holiday?
Have a great start into May!

Happy Mayday from the Streets of Nuremberg
My pleasure.
That’s a great view.

Thanks 🙂
Dafür ist die Fotografie mal erfunden worden: Licht einzufangen! 🙂
So true! Danke 🙂
Well done with the lightning. I once tried to capture a flash in a spectacular storm while visiting Berlin. Failed miserably and ended up very wet…
Thanks, Stephen, so much appreciated! Marcus

You guys have a beautiful view! That’s a great photo, Marcus, the iPhone is amazing!
Thanks, John, your kind words are so much appreciated! It is our Happy Place for sure. I could sit all day watching Cruise Ships and Ferries go in and out of the harbor.
You’re welcome, and I would enjoy that too!
Great shot, Marcus. Another cellphone camera wonder. Who would have thought?
Thanks, Allan, as always much appreciated! I didn’t feel like setting up the big camera and just tried my luck to see what I could get out of the iPhone.
