#TheStormPilot•aeronaut•photographer•engineer 🇪🇨 The most intensive feeling comes right at the start. When the plane accelerates and I’m pressed into my seat.

#PPOD: Pacific Storm ⛈️

Santiago Borja Lopez is a Quito, Ecuador-based pilot with Ecuador Airlines. Whenever he is off duty, he pulls out his camera to capture the magnificent sights he witnesses in the air. From incredible storms to lightning bolts, the photos he captures are truly magnificent. Here is a colossal cumulonimbus flashing over the Pacific Ocean, captured at 37,000 Feet en route to South America.
