As many as 18,000 photos were submitted to the National Geographic Traveler magazine, but the cream of the photography competition was picked up by only one, the Slovenian storm chaser Marko Korošec, who proved with a photo of a stormy supercell that our small size is not a prison cell that keeps us from for the world to notice us. Even though such international successes are a rare phenomenon, even more so than the weather phenomenon that brought him victory.
Marko Korošec, who comes from Sežana, named his photo "Independence Day", because it storm supercell reminds of spaceship, which we saw in the film of the same name starring Will Smith. He caught the cloud on one of his storm chases on the tornado 'highway' in the Kansas (near the place Julesburg) on May 28, 2013, where otherwise weather 'freaks' is studying since years 2006.
