This storm arrived last night so the full force came overnight but there was still enough of a wind to make for dramatic seascape this morning.
14 December 2016: Snow fall at Mingo Creek County Park in Pennsylvania.
I ventured out in the snow to a local park to photograph the fresh snowfall after it transformed the landscape with beautiful snow. As I composed another image, I noticed the wind was blowing the snow off the trees and creating a mystical effect. I quickly recomposed to capture the "god beams" of blowing snow that was backlight by sun.
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.
Thank you to everybody that views, comments and for favouring my images. Always greatly appreciated.
Wind-blown snow fills a gully along a back road after a couple of days of storms. The wind can create amazing shapes which continue to change all winter.
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
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.
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.
On Boxing Day Mr T and I went for a walk - starting a new tradition as neither of us has had the chance to take a walk the day after Christmas! The weather was kind - not too cold, dry and sunny. The wind at our level was not as strong as up high - as evidenced by the contrail in the sky! Our walk was about 5 miles - with a stop for lunch and various photoshoots it took 3 1/2 hours. We got back before dark - where we put our feet up and had a hot drink and biccies :))
