The grain has always fascinated me, may be its history, so bound to the one of the human being, or may be its shape, so much symmetrical and regular. Everytime I pass close to a field of grain I surprise myself quite hypnotized; today was a day with heavy clouds close to my home, and when I noticed this field so green under a sky so leaden, with that strange path in the middle, I could not resist.

Aux échelles moyennes de l' observation et de la prévision , nombreux sont les cas d'évolution subite du temps au cours desquels le vitesse du vent s'accroît de façon brusque et marquée tandis que sa direction éprouve un net changement (jusqu'à 45 à 90°) : lorsqu'une telle évolution s'étale sur une durée de quelques minutes seulement avant de s'amortir assez rapidement, elle est qualifiée de grain ; ce phénomène, particulièrement redouté en mer, est fréquemment accompagné d' averses ou d' orages . On peut parler plus précisément de grain lorsque se manifestent de fortes rafales , excédant d'au moins 15 noeuds (soit 28 km/h ou 8 m.s ) la vitesse moyenne du vent pendant une période d'au moins 1 min.

Une ligne de grains ne s'accompagne pas obligatoirement de grains. De même, un grain orageux n'appartient pas forcément à une ligne de grains ; si tel est le cas, c'est un grain en ligne . Un grain noir est accompagné de nuages sombres et, souvent, de fortes pluies ; un grain blanc , au contraire, n'apporte pas de précipitations ni même parfois de nuages (sa dénomination vient de ce qu'il peut être signalé à l'horizon par un nuage blanc en ascension rapide).

On désigne quelquefois par ce terme de "grain" des phénomènes plus généraux, mais caractérisés également par leur soudaineté, leur intensité et leur brièveté : en mer, une tempête locale ; à terre, une averse venteuse.

Look just to the right of the elevator. See the figure standing just left of the telephone pole? He wasn't there when I took the photo.

I took this series of photos on a cloudy day in north Wichita. My wife and dog were in the car when I stopped to take the photos. We were alone. 6 months later I am playing with an infrared filter in Lightroom when I saw the figure staring back at me from the photo. I instantly broke out into goosebumps as I was positive no one was in the photo when I shot it.

Upon zooming in, I found out the legs were made by the chainlink fence gate and the apparent head is a trick of the light. But is still freaks me out to look at it.

CSX extra grain train B965 is seen approaching Stockport Creek on the Amtrak Hudson Line with the one bit of sun I saw all day and double rainbow providing an excellent backdrop.

I met a local photographer here at the grain elevators, who told me that there is a pair of Peregrine Falcons that nest and hang out at the top of this building. I did not see them on this very windy day, but I did see a Bald Eagle on the other side of this building.
