Heat lightning is evocative of the romance of the tropics for me. It is beautiful, powerful and mysterious. It can go on for hours here cada noche (each night). I am officially obsessed. Sometimes it is so bright, the intense flashes wake me up. Yet it is completely silent. I have tried many times to capture a photo, but this is the best I could do so far.

Supposedly heat lightning as such isn’t even a real thing. It is just regular lightning that is part of giant storms far off in the distance so you don’t hear the thunder. In any case, I am in love and the rainy season has only just begun! ⚡️
