I’ve seen many waterspouts over the years, but this outbreak in Gabicce Monte, Italy, was the most powerful, intense and beautiful I’ve ever witnessed. What a show!

For us it was much more – it was Mother Nature in her perfect form, an exclusive moment, pure fascination and the highlight of our tour so far.
