I was lying in bed last night when I
noticed a sound like a truck going over a bridge, repeatedly and just outside
my window. Since there are no bridges
anywhere near my window, I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew in a flash, tore
open the shutter and threw up the sash.
Instead of seeing Santa Claus, I saw a
huge, very oddly-shaped cloud hanging over the Kakheti valley. It was surrounded by clear sky and stars, and
it was shaped like an anvil. I had never
thought of Telavi as being particularly high until I realized that I was even
with the thundercloud, looking across at it.
I could see lightning flashing constantly from one spot to another, and
the rumbling noise I heard was the thunder.
My camera is nowhere near smart enough to
get good pictures of the side of the thunderstorm, but this is a picture I took
just after a thunderstorm a few days ago.
