How to deal with white spaces after the image using flex?

All looks fine when we deal with desktop version, but after going to a mobile version, some strange space after the image occurs, but I've set height: 100%, but it still appends some white spaces under the image, regardless of height.

I've attached a photo of how it looks like, you can see a white space after the image, when we get to less than 768px.

enter image description here

Html code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
   <head>
      <meta charset="UTF-8">
      <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
      <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

      <link rel="stylesheet" media="screen and (max-width: 768px)" href="./css/mobile.css">
      <title>Blog</title>
   </head>
   <body>
      <section id="blog1">
      <div class="row">
         <div class="column">
            <img src="./img/blog/blog1.jpg" alt="">
         </div>
         <div class="column bgLight">
            <div class="column2">
               <h2>
               Blog Post One</h4>
               <p class="meta">
                  <i class="fas fa-user"></i> Posted by <strong>John Doe</strong> | April 19 2020

CSS Main code:

.row {
    display: flex;
}

.column1, .column2 {
    height: 100%;
}


.row .column {
    flex: 1;
    flex-basis: 100%;
}

.column2 {
    padding: 40px;
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: column;
    align-items: flex-start;
    justify-content: center;
    line-height: 2rem;
}

img {
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;

}

CSS mobile code:

.column  {
    max-width: 100%;
    flex: 100%;
}

.row {
    flex-direction: column;
}

Change your .column to

.column {
  justify-content: center;
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: row;
  overflow: hidden;}

and your img to

img {
  flex: 1;
  height: 100%;}
