Fortunately, the violent storm has passed away and I have only seen the flash lightning and thunders in a certain distance. To be caught in the middle of a storm in high mountain is one of these things that make you think ‘What the hell I’m doing here!’

The spectacle can be terrifying and dreadful if you are alone in the middle of a granite desert, flash lightning falling a few meters from where you are, water pouring down with no compassion… And you can do nothing, except to start to believe in God again and pray you will be good next time.

Then, there is a certain and indescribable beauty, the Theory of the Sublime: a romantic term that especially refers to a greatness with which nothing else can be compared and which is beyond all possibility of calculation, measurement or imitation.
