“They say all marriages are made in heaven, but so are thunder and lightning.”

The world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa was recently struck by a bolt of lightning. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Crown Prince of Dubai, captured this beautiful moment and shared it on his Instagram handle with the caption, 'Lightning Hotspot.'
