Most epic dragon encounter?

Here is mine.

I was doing a small quest in Kyrestgrove. I had to collect some poison from the frost spiders. I did it and came back to the location. I gave it back, received my rewards but then a f*cking frost dragon appeared out of nowhere and attacked the village! That was amazing! He sat on the house and the epic music started playing. I shot him with arrows but he flew away and fought with a giant! Guess who won. I enjoyed watching the fight and eating some popcorn, haha.

The first one, from the quest with Whiteruns jarl. Because after that I realised every dragon encounter is basically the same, but the first one blew my mind.

I had three attack Riverwood, almost 50% of the time I've gone there. I try to avoid it for that reason... but yeah, it killed 2-3 guards and tossed their corpses, then it killed Alvor right before I killed him with a bite. So after reloading, I redid the battle with the ancient/elder dragon and just decimated it without Alvor dying. (Couldn't even find the corpse, talked to his wife and she was crying about him.)

Spoiler
I was getting to Sky haven temple with Esbern and the Blades lady and we came across a huge camp of Forsworn, an epic battle pursued and then to top it all off, a dragon comes down from above reigning hell on all of us. It was by far the biggest battle I've been in yet. There was over 20 people/creatures battling.

Two dragons, a frost and an elder. It's good because my character build decimates 1 to 1 but is very vulnerable in many on 1 fights. Made things much more interesting, on top of just the sheer spectacle of seeing my laptop render that much perfection.

Dragons in this game were done brilliantly. Your first encounters totally awe you. Yes it gets a bit samey after a while.... but awesome execution.

I love how all people in the village come running over when the hard work is done and start talking. Gets me even more when one of them or a soldier has died and they stop and kneel down and say stuff about how terrible it is (but they never clean up the body lol)

I ran up to the top of a mountain, a dragon was resting on a word wall, he flapped his wings and hovered above it, screamed at me, then flew backwards and never stopped going.

It was super effective. I almost choked on my Berliner and died.

When I was walking through Whiterun and a dragon started attacking Whiterun, it was the first time a dragon actually attacked inside a city for me, I was kinda shocked.
