The Jura on a Stormy Day

Day 43 of Self-Isolation in Switzerland – Caught Outdoors During a Thunderstorm

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Today I was caught outdoors during a thunderstorm but rather than run to shelter or rush home I continued taking a timelapse video of some flowers. According to the apps we were meant to get some rain at 1800 so I expected it to be short lived.

This didn’t stop my clothes or my bag from getting wet but I was wearing hiking trousers and I wasn’t worried about the shoes. I didn’t expect anything to be soaked through and I did prepare to run home if need be. By the time I was ready to run the rain was stopping so I took out the phone and waited, and tried to capture lightning.

Nice and stormy. Not a good day to be up at La Dôle hiking naked.
