This impressive drone photo shows a dramatic scene of the river Lek near Vianen, amid threatening thunderstorms. In the foreground is the wide river Lek, calmly flowing, with the Restaurant De Ponthoeve located on the bank. However, the force of nature is unmistakably reflected in the dark clouds gathering above the horizon, and the flashes of lightning shooting through the sky. Beyond the river stretches the city of IJsselstein, with the iconic Gerbrandy tower rising proudly above the skyline.
