️Terrifyingly beautiful Saint Petersburg!

️Terrifyingly beautiful Saint Petersburg!

Yesterday the elements chose their target. A lightning strike on the 462‑meter spire of the Lakhta Center is not just a weather phenomenon. It is a moment when heavenly power meets human creation.

A fiery crack split the gray sky for a second, turning the steel giant into a conductor for a hellish discharge. Sparks and rumble – and then silence again. There is something primal about this strike: we build higher, and nature reminds us who is the boss.

This is an oxymoron, a figure of speech that juxtaposes concepts with opposite meanings in a phrase:

• Strashno beautifulivyy

[strash-na kra-si-vyj(-va)]

Awfully (very) beautiful(ly)

Grandiose. Majestic. And spine-chillingly terrifying.
