I was so impressed with all the entries in lefteyeblind's BLUE challenge. There were a lot more entries than I can recollect in recent times, and they were all great. So great, that I thought I would just make the next challenge RED or BLACK but I guess I have decided to go with something a bit more abstract.

So the wind! I live in coastal NC where the wind shapes our lives from minute to minute. Like all coastal communities we have flags

that tell us what is going on. On this day I knew it was blowing from the NW @ 10-15 mph just by looking at the flag.

We have a lot of wind junkies

here. The unfeathered ones pay top dollar to feel our breezes.

The wind shapes

our land

bends

the wood, weathers

our buildings. Sometimes it just turns everything upside down

That stuff happens everywhere, right?

And there are tried and true methods of protection

becauselook out you might need it.

My question and challenge to you is how do you catch the wind? I mean with your camera... A lot of times I try to do this. I usually get stuff that looks like this

which is cool, but how to you capture the beauty of sound of the wind in the loblolly pines

So my challenge to you is to try to capture the wind. I have but one success...and here it is...my triumph

Catch the WIND!!! I know you can!
