The New York City Department of Transportation’s Art Program and New York Cares organized two Barrier Beautification painting events in conjunction with the New York Cares Day on Saturday, April 12, 2014. Queens based artist Mayuko Fujino beautified 280 feet of concrete barrier with 20 New York City Urban Fellows Program volunteers at 180th Street and Devoe Avenue adjacent to River Park in the Bronx.
The whimsical design “Spring Wind” illustrates a scene of warm spring winds and celebrates the revitalization of spring. The NYC Urban Fellows truly enjoyed their time painting the barriers and commented it was a fun community service activity to celebrate the end of their fellowships with the City.

This is one of the effects of yesterday's storm. As the guy with the Amish beard said when he pointed this out to me, it could have been worse. It could have been a kid under there and not a car.
Then he told me two other things:
:: How he'd gotten a friend back for teasing him by dressing a mannequin in a cop uniform, tying it to the friend's back bumper, then presumably having a good laugh when the guy got pulled over and thrown into the back seat of a police car. Apparently the effect was quite realistic.
:: How he got sprayed by a skunk this one time when he was working in Montana.

Kite surfring goes back many years... In the 1800s, George Pocock used kites to propel carts on land and ships on the water. Both carts and boats were able to turn and sail upwind. The kites could be flown for sustained periods. The intention was to establish the power of a kite and the wind as an alternative to horsepower, As then like today, to avoid tax and then it was the hated horse tax. In 1903, aviation pioneer Samuel Cody developed man-lifting kites. It payed of and he succeeded in crossing the English Channel in a small collapsible canvas boat powered by a kite In the late 1970s, the development of Kevlar then Spectra flying lines and more controllable kites with improved efficiency contributed to practical kite traction. In 1978, In October 1977 Gijsbertus Adrianus Panhuise (Netherlands) received the first patent for Kite Surfing. The patent covers, specifically, a water sport using a floating board of a surf board type where a pilot standing up on it is pulled by a wind catching device of a parachute type tied to his harness on a trapeze type belt. Although this patent did not result in any commercial interest, Gijsbertus Adrianus Panhuise could be considered as the originator of Kite Surfing.

The wind from the north is strong and gusty today. These leaves will soon let go. I was pleased that the speed I chose was high enough to stop these whipping golden leaves long enough to focus.
I was down in Bowling Green, Ohio again for a TV shoot at the Bowling Green Green Mountain Wind Farm.
Did you know that this farm is the only commercial wind power producer in Ohio? There are only four commercial scale wind turbine in all of Ohio and they are right here in Bowling Green.
We can do better than that.

Wind driven rain and sea. I just love a bit of a gale. I tried down the pier a bit but it was SO wet! Makes for dire photography but just had to do something.
The largest vessel in the Windstar Cruises fleet, the 14,745-ton, 312-guest Wind Surf is one part sailing yacht and one part upscale cruise ship — small enough to be intimate, large enough to offer a variety of onboard experiences. Launched in 1990 and renovated several times through the years, Wind Surf wears her years well, kept in beautiful condition by crews and officers who seem especially dedicated to her.
El barco de vela más grande en el mundo, el Wind Surf es un elegante barco de cinco mástiles con capacidad para 312 personas, y con seis cubiertas, se trata del yate más grande de la flota de Windstar.

The wind blows constantly in Monument Valley, thankfully so, because without it, there would be no monuments, just dust, rocks and clouds.
This is one of the places that I've wanting to photograph for a while. This time that I went there, it was almost sunset, there were just a few clouds in the sky. My vision that i have of photographing this place is a long exposure, with a cloudy sky, the wind turbines working, so i can capture the movement, either sunset or a blue hour shot. I'm sure that will be next time!!!
Thank you for your visit and for viewing it, all your comments are greatly appreciated. I will visit and comment the streams of all who comment, fave mine!
Press "L" on your keyboard to view it LARGE on black. It looks super cool!

Driving thru the pass toward Palm Desert the wind corridor powers fields of wind generators like rows of corn in Iowa. Some people think they are eyesores but I want to go up to them and give em a hug.

The first morning of our trip, as the sun rose, we saw a cloud bank on top of the hills to our left, but then realised that there was a wind farm hidden in there. One would appear then disappear, then another would fade in and out. We saw later that there were lots of them all along the top of the hills. It was an amazing sight!
