Mango tree casualties of today's gusty winds, with another box worth waiting to be picked up. Still a lot in the tree; it surely would have been a banner year in calmer conditions. Time to test new recipes for very green papaya and mango.
The wind blew across the still canal water and made these patterns with small waves. I noticed them as I sat still for a few minutes.
Sometimes you have to be still to notice the subtle beauty in the scenes around us.
A 1980's inspired shoot using full advantage of the natural light and wind. Mixing period with retro with modern.

Wind Cave, Wind Cave National Park, South Dakota, USA.
---quotation from en.wikipedia.org:---
Wind Cave National Park is a United States national park 10 miles (16 km) north of the town of Hot Springs in western South Dakota. Established in 1903 by President Theodore Roosevelt, it was the seventh U.S. National Park and the first cave to be designated a national park anywhere in the world. The cave is notable for its displays of the calcite formation known as boxwork. Approximately 95 percent of the world's discovered boxwork formations are found in Wind Cave. Wind Cave is also known for its frostwork. The cave is also considered a three-dimensional maze cave, recognized as the densest (most passage volume per cubic mile) cave system in the world. The cave is currently the sixth-longest in the world with 139.15 miles (223.94 km) of explored cave passageways, with an average of four new miles of cave being discovered each year. Above ground, the park includes the largest remaining natural mixed-grass prairie in the United States.

USA tour September 2006
I was in Walla Walla, Washington this weekend on Saturday just one day after this horrendous storm that swept through. Some of the damage and destruction is awful but the town began cleanup immediately after the storm left. Many were without power but was mostly restored by the following Monday.
Wind farm in Minco, Oklahoma. I found out after the fact that Google purchased all of the energy from this particular wind farm to offset the energy requirements of a new data center.

Bronze, Red Gum and Harcourt granite sculpture, 1995
Queen Victoria Market, Therry Street (Melway ref. 2B, C12)
Pauline Fraser was born in 1953 on remote Christmas Island. She studied sculpture at Monash University and RMIT, and has exhibited her work widely in Australia. In 1994, the City of Melbourne commissioned Fraser to undertake Wind Contrivance through its Percent for Art Program. The work was sculpted in Fraser’s studio at Lurg, 20 kilometres from Benalla, and cast at the Meridian Foundry in Fitzroy.
This large bronze sculpture – featuring an array of vegetables, fish and an Aboriginal fishing net – looks whimsically to the relationship between the land and city, tradition and lifestyle, production and consumption. Like Bernice Murphy’s Dairy Hall Window, with which it was unveiled in August 1996, Wind Contrivance is sited at Queen Victoria Market, a centre point between land and city, and a cipher through which the country harvest is distributed to city dwellers.

Altamont Pass Wind Farm is located in the Altamont Pass of the Diablo Range in Central California. It is one of the earliest wind farms in the United States. Considered largely obsolete, these numerous small turbines are being gradually replaced with much larger and more cost-effective units. The larger units turn more slowly and, being elevated higher, are claimed to be less hazardous to the local wildlife. This claim is supported by a report done for the Bonneville Power Administration
Wind is one of the most wonderful things on earth ... it gives one of the most relaxing feelings ... and seeing the tree leaves enjoying the wind is another amazing feeling ... they do an amazing wind dance ... Just watch it next time ... and join the dance
