Default CP Photo Challenge #12 - "Wind" - Everyone welcome to vote

Thank you for the Abstract votes.

Theme - Wind

Blatant rip-off of a topic I've seen elsewhere, but an intriguing one. The effects of wind, wind-created motion, things that create wind. Wind isn't invisible.

I'll look forward to someone posting a picture of themselves lighting their ass on fire after breaking wind.

Wind.

---------------
Rules:
All photos must be no larger than 800x600 (or something close)
Please post only 1 photo per post (make a new post for new pics)
Post as many photos as you like, just keep it on topic
Vote by clicking the "Thanks" button at the bottom of the post
You may vote for 3 finalists.
Once the challenge leader (winner from previous challenge) chooses when to end the voting, he/she will change the thread title to explain when voting ends.
Once voting for the finalists is over, the challenge leader will tally up the votes and post (in 3 separate posts) the finalists.
Challenge leader again changes thread title to say when voting ends
Then, everyone comes back and votes on those 3 finalists.
You are only allowed 1 vote in the finals, so choose wisely
Winner of the challenge will start a new challenge thread and copy/paste these rules in the original post for consistency.
Don't be too specific with the theme nor too general. Try and get a theme that people can contribute to. Don't pick the red african ant of Kenya as a theme... nobody will post. Likewise, don't make the theme "stuff on earth"
Have fun.
---------------

Submission Deadline - Sunday January 18th Enough time?

Another for consideration. . . .

At the Calgary Stampede last summer, a cowboy gets his priorities straight, one hand around the pretty girl while the other keeps his hat on as they twirl around on a Midway ride.

It wasn't that windy this day... but imagine what would happen if it were!

This is a tricky subject, hard to capture what is wind... but here is another one that fits under "imagine the wind"...

This was actually a pond, not a river. The ripples are caused by the wind, not current.
