This is the moment a lightning bolt struck the tallest building in the world during a violent thunderstorm in Dubai.
Dubai based photographer Teemu Jarvinen, 24, was taking pictures of the city's skyline when he caught these jaw-dropping pictures of the 828m-tall Burj Khalifia in the UAE.
The professional photographer was "lucky enough" to capture the powerful lightning bolt striking the highest point of the huge skyscraper.
Teemu, originally from Finland, said: "I'm happy and lucky enough to be at the right place at the right time, it's the most rewarding feeling in this type of photography.
"There were many wasted days as well with lots of planning and waiting but no results, so when it does work out it feels great." Teemu spent seven hours capturing these images.
