Lightning bolt blows up a tree in perfectly-timed photo
A US hiker has perfectly captured an amazing photo of a gigantic lightning bolt striking a mountainside.
The perfectly-timed photo was taken by Phil Garcia, while out hiking with his friends in Pecos, New Mexico.
Garcia, 28, who works at a ski resort in Santa Fe, only managed to grab one shot of the purple-tinted bolt during adverse weather.
It was so immense that it destroyed a tree in the process, leaving only its trunk.

Lightning bolt strikes above erupting volcano illuminating the sky purple

The sky above an erupting volcano in Indonesia has turned a stunning electric purple during a lightning storm.
Spectacular images captured the spectacle as Mount Sinabung in Karo, North Sumatra, continued to spew a column of ash and smoke up to 16,400ft (5km) into the sky as lightning bolts crackled above.
Sinabung leapt back into life last week, with 13 separate blasts on Tuesday alone, and it continued to shoot volcanic debris for several days afterwards.
The purple skies - which can be caused by the scattering of white light due to moisture, haze and dust in the air - were captured by photographers on Friday using long exposures.
