Whitewater Winter
Description
This is an area a wash known as "Whitewater" which is just across from Mt. San Jacinto and Palm Springs, CA. We had a nice dusting of show that week so I thought I'd drive up to the windmills and take a scenic. The
wind
is always raging up there so I had to shoot this with a high ISO.

Mesquite Sunrise I
Description
The day before I took this shot of Death Valley's Mesquite Dunes there was a raging sand storm with
wind
gust up to 70 mph that lasted into the night. The next morning it was still very windy so I decided to head up the west side of the dunes to be upwind, and also so I could catch the blowing sand in the light coming from the east. It's a kind of weird comp but does convey the conditions fairly well.

Mesquite Sunrise III
Description
Another favorite shot from Death Valley's Mesquite Dunes after a sand storm hit. That's another photographer who slowly made his way toward to tallest dune from the east (I was on the western side). I was taking shots of him the whole way in order to show scale and knew exactly where he was headed. There were at least two others headed the same way but this guy was making good time - probably because he hardly had any gear. Anyway, I have no idea who this was but I appreciate the fact that he was there.

Title
Invaded
Description
High winds in the Sierras caused a buch of these lenticular clouds. This one was hanging out around Mono Lake and I thought it looked cool so I shot a couple telephoto shots of it.

Title
Crops in the
Wind
Description
I saw this scene while stopped at a stop light in Lakeview, CA so I pulled over and took a couple shots. It was extremely windy so there was no way to avoid the motion blur other than bump the ISO setting. But the exposure was still way too long. Even so, I like this shot so I'm just going to pretend that it was intentional and my artistic vision all along.

Storm Trees
Description
Shot at Lake Perris in Moreno Valley, CA. There were rain storms during the day and I knew that the light would be good in the evening. I also knew the
wind
would be a problem for this shot since I was shooting slow film. But the light was too good so used the
wind
-blur to add to the composition.
