Challenge: Wind

One Last Shot - Challenge
It was cold outside, with the wind driving the "feels like" temp down to a point where a seemingly bright guy like myself might think to don a jacket (no such luck). Freezing, with an ice cold camera in my quickly numbing hands, I tried to get a good shot of the Beckman sign with the flag flapping patriotically in the wind. Only one problem, someone decided to put a light pole right in my way making it impossible to get a shot of the sign without the flag covering part of it up. There was no time for cursing, as my short sleeved shirt wasn't providing much protection from the elements, so I took a few shots and hoped for the best. Back at my PC, I found a shot that I liked (sort of) but of course the flag was obscuring part of the Beckman sign. That’s when I decided to fire up Photoshop and see if I could give this shot a chance. The attached picture is the result. The 'A' and 'N' at the end of Beckman were completely fabricated in Photoshop (one of the more challenging things I've done so far).
Alright, a lot of hot air for nothing, but it was fun none the less.
Enjoy.
The Elusive Wind Challenge
Amy, I think you've stumped some folks with this challenge. I found it quite difficult to capture the movement initiated by wind. But the entries thus far are very good.
I don't know about anyone else but I really enjoy these challenges and this one was great!!!!
T'was a stormy sea...
In such conditions, I only take the P&S on the boat, not willing to sacrifice my "good gear" to salt water damage.

These were taken before Amy's challenge and I did not think I would be using them for more than self amusement.
But here it tis, enjoy.

Pumped About This Challenge!
The first is one of those tall cylindrical nylon "beings" that businesses use to get the attention of passersby. He was really whipping around both from his blower fan and from the gusts of wind, and I was really happy with the way my camera captured him.
The second and third are of a few palm trees near a local shopping strip.

Breezy!
No doubt, Kenneth Grahame found inspiration for his book in a willow tree when he was a child.
