Went up to the wind turbines at Fullabrook Barton a couple of weeks ago as it looked like the sunset was going to be good, however it started off quite well before the heavens opened while i was in the middle of the field and got absolutely drenched. This was taken just a few minutes before the heavens opened.
Massive waves off Cape Spear, NL are decisively whipped by heavy winds during a storm surge in February 2021.
The winds blow the tall grasses of a field on the Arnside Knott in the Southern Lake District, United Kingdom.

A wind rose is a graphic tool used by meteorologists to give a succinct view of how wind speed and direction are typically distributed at a particular location. Historically, wind roses were predecessors of the compass rose on maps, as there was no differentiation between a cardinal direction and the wind which blew from such a direction. Using a polar coordinate system of gridding, the frequency of winds over a 30-year period are plotted by wind direction, with color bands showing wind ranges. The directions of the rose with the longest spoke show the wind direction with the greatest frequency.
Een windroos of windkruis is een kruis dat de windrichtingen (noord, oost, zuid en west) aanduidt. Een windroos kan teruggevonden worden op een kompas of onder een windhaan.
Taken at Oswaldtwistle moor wind farm. A similar photo to one previously taken, but on a much nicer and warmer day.
The reason for the unsteadiness of the video is that the wind was whipping and I could not hold the camera still. The last few seconds show two big crashes against the pier, so hang in there! :)

Altocumulus Lenticularis. These middle-level clouds form when wind blows across a mountain range, to form air waves on the lee side. The wave is invisible, but when moisture is present at the top of the wave, these clouds are formed.

"The Starfish Hill Wind Farm is located across two hills on the tip of the Fleurieu Peninsula near Cape Jervis and was the first wind farm built in South Australia. The site was selected because the area has consistently high winds, is sparsely populated and the land was previously cleared for farming and grazing.
Starfish Hill rises to a height of 306 metres along a north-south ridge about three kilometres from the coastline. Salt Creek Hill, west of Starfish Hill on another north-south ridge, has a height of 220 metres and is about one kilometre from the coast. West of Salt Creek Hill, steep cliffs rise 100 metres above the sea.
There are 23 wind turbines with 15 located on Salt Creek Hill and 8 on Starfish Hill. Each of the turbines has 3 blades with a tower height of 68 metres and overall height of 100 metres from the ground to the blade tip.
The wind farm provides enough energy to meet the needs of about 18,000 households (ie. 2% of the State's residential customers) and adds 1% to the available generation capacity in South Australia."
Do you know the difference between "Wilderness" and "wilderness?"
2014 marks the 50th anniversary of the 1964 Wilderness Act, the landmark conservation bill that created a way for Americans to protect their most pristine wild lands for future generations.
One short outing and I came up with a few dutch angle shots which I like. I was lucky to see the rainbows over the lake as I went out to get a shot before it rained. Also very lucky to get the windsurfer because it was raining by now and I was sheltering under a tree waiting for him to come closer. The building was the shot I was going out to get. I'm not sure which is the best so if you would care to give an opinion that would be good.
