These stunning images were captured by a British visitor to Makkah yesterday.
Lightning is seen to strike the now famous clock building which towers above the Masjid (mosque) Al-Haram.

Clouds also seem to obscure the buildings for a moment as a think fog sets in.

The images were  taken by the team at Arif Hajj and Umrah from Nelson who visit the city regularly with pilgrims.
