Boat races to beat storm to the safety of the harbour at sunset

Storms are incredibly powerful and beautiful at the same time. This lightning show closed in on the shore of Cobourg on Lake Ontario, one of the five largest lakes in the world. As the ominous thunderclouds rolled towards the marina harbour, a drone circled and recorded, catching the contrast between a peaceful sky with a setting sun and a black pillar of rain. From the middle of the lake, under the storm, a small boat appeared, racing at full speed for the safety and security of the break water. Cutting it close, a few drops of rain were falling as the boat reached the entrance.
The crimson line on the horizon as the sun dipped out of sight was breath taking. The booming thunder and increasing wind from the south suggested that the peacefulness was about to be broken. Geese frantically flew along the shore to find a place for shelter. They also knew that the weather was going to turn foul momentarily. They dipped low and found refuge in the trees.
Minutes after the drone finished filming and returned to the shore, the skies opened and rain poured down in a deluge. Thunder cracked and the ground shook. The fishermen in the boat had beaten the storm by only minutes.
Nature can be magnificent, beautiful, peaceful, and terrifying all at the same time. The beauty of these storms along the shore is incredible, but those caught in weather like this would not appreciate the colours and the splendour.
