Rather than repeating your undescriptive post in alt text why not actuary describe it like you might, if say you were trying to explain it to a friend who couldn't see it for whatever reason 🤷🙂.

There's an #AltBot if you need it (but defo check it for mistakes / missing bits) or you could use the #ALT4me hashtag to see if anyone else would be willing to help out & write one. They'll probably use the #ALT4you tag to indicate their efforts.

Hope this info helps.

@nando161 great pic 🙏

I offer the following ALT description:

A bolt of lightning zig zags through a murky sky and hits a tree in full leaf, left of centre of its canopy. It tracks along a branch to the trunk and follows it straight down to the ground. The whole tree is lit up by the lightning in an orange-yellow light. A small flash of fire extends a short way from the trunk into the grass at the base.

The tree stands apart from others in fields that stretch back to hills on the horizon.

Actually a frame from an iPhone vidéo from 22 june 2022

But... Please examine all the details of the photo.

It is not the same frame ? The trees at the horizon seems different ...

Maybe an AI "enhanced" version

@pluralistic

Glorious. I'd love to know how they did it.

@nando161

It struck not the highest branch but the branch offering the most efficient conductivity to the ground

@nando161

So metal !!!
