One of the most spectacular pictures you will ever see…

Karim Mustafa may have just started snapping photos ten months ago, but it seems he’s picked up some serious skills as his latest shot from the streets of New York clearly shows.

Karim explained a little how he came to take the amazing shot:

“It was from my friend’s roof top in Brooklyn. The person’s roof who I was on, I met through Instagram. We were all sitting in the rain on his roof celebrating his birthday, just trying to catch the lightning shot and I got lucky with that one.”

Karim opened his own Instagram account to document the streets of New York, the photographer has gathered 34,000 followers for his efforts.
