A wonderful day in March when all the elements combined to make a beautiful crashing wave in the Solent .The elements are wind strength wind direction and the height of the tide. Not many days during the year that this happens.
This another one of the wind farm off the North Sea Coast at Redcar.
I manipulated the blades of the turbines using the spin blur filter in Photoshop as they were static in the original, I am quite please with the results.

Dieses Foto habe ich in der Vulkaneifel aufgenommen. Im Moment als die Sonne gerade durch die dichten tief hängenden Wolken kam frischte der Wind auf.
With light and variable morning winds a Laysan albatross majestically checks the direction. Large birds built for dynamic soaring, albatross benefit from the airspeed lift provided by a headwind, without which they may not be able to takeoff. After determining wind speed and direction, this one clumsily walked considerable distance to find a clearing with enough running room for liftoff in a light sea breeze. After airborne on two meters of high aspect ratio wingspan, this beautiful mōlī gracefully glided across the breeding grounds in lazy eights then banked out to sea. Albatross spend many solitary months and thousands of nomadic miles at sea only returning to land to nest. O871 was banded as a chick at Kaena Point NAR in 2013.
The wind was blowing so hard at the Oregon Coast, the sand was moving across the ground like flowing water.
The first electricity-generating wind turbine was a battery charging machine installed in July 1887 by Scottish academic James Blyth to light his holiday home in Marykirk, Scotland. Some months later American inventor Charles F. Brush was able to build the first automatically operated wind turbine after consulting local University professors and colleagues Jacob S. Gibbs and Brinsley Coleberd and successfully getting the blueprints peer-reviewed for electricity production in Cleveland, Ohio. Although Blyth's turbine was considered uneconomical in the United Kingdom, electricity generation by wind turbines was more cost effective in countries with widely scattered populations
A westbound Burlington Northern Santa Fe freight is in scenic Wind River Canyon at Dornick, Wyoming, on July 8, 1999. Leading the train is BNSF warbonnet GE C44-9W No. 793, with two EMD SD40-2s trailing, one a former Santa Fe, and the other an ex-Milwaukee Road, now EMD Leasing.
Wind power stations on the mainland were extra visible during this golden sunset. The photo was taken from across the Kalmar strait.

In the chilly hours and minutes
Of uncertainty, I want to be
In the warm hold of your loving mind
To feel you all around me
And to take your hand, along the sand
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind
