But you can't really stage nature, can you? A photo by Denis Bodrov, a Ukrainian photographer, so I guess this is somewhere in Ukraine. He has a specific style - most of his photos are moody pieces shot during nightime, with wonderfully eerie atmosphere.

Cleaned up the photo a bit, raised the contrast - mostly on the cloud - and removed poor Denis (I guess?), because I like the feeling of desolation more.
