A pilot who was flying across the Pacific captured a stunning shot of a brewing thunderstorm.

Pilot named Santiago Borja captured the view with a Nikon D750 camera from the cockpit of his Boeing 767-300.

The image was captured at a location south of Panama at a altitude of 37,000 feet, en route to South America.

“Storms are tricky because the lightning is so fast, there is no tripod and there is a lot of reflection from inside lights.” said Borja.

“I like this photo so much because you can feel the amazing size of the storm and its power. But at the same time it’s wonderful how peacefully you can fly around it in still air without touching it,” he added.
