Oh wow! That is a very powerful image. I hope the statue wasn't damaged.

Evidently it gets struck by lightning from time to time. The photographer mentioned that he finally caught the moment.

As if it has never been struck before?

Looking for signs and wonders?

No, just a news title that caught my eye. The rays around the head though; hard not to notice that.
