Scavenger Hunt – WIND

We’ve had quite a lot of wind here lately, and on Saturday seeing that the tide was out, I walked to Mairangi Bay via the path under the cliff.

These dark clouds were being held back by the wind, and loved seeing how dark and moody there were.

And the flags on the Mairangi Bay Surf Club were blowing strongly too – and I thought - Hurrah! Scavenger Hunt – WIND!

The poor bird is suffering as well. Wonderful clouds. It looks like a dragon or creature with a big mouth blowing the bird.

Hi Janice,
a wonderful contribution for the hunt.
I like the gull flying against the wing and the flags - also the "angry" sky, a beautiful shot showing the wind so well, thanks and greetings

Wind - undeniably, Janice ;o). Mission accomplished!
The dramatic sky is a nice plus for the shot. I wonder how this would look in b&w with some added contrast...
Excellent for the hunt. TFS.

wonderful Janice..and so well framed too... very
effective. I like your note, too..tFS Meagan

Hi Janice,

Looks like you found a beauty for the scav hunt! Very moody photo with those dark clouds. I like how you included the sea gull suspended in mid air!

Well seen & composed

Hi Janice,
This looks like a great place to surf with all the wind I can feel looking at the flags. This is a great entry for the scav. TFS

Hi Janice, those dark grey skies seem to be the norm at the moment dont they!

Excellent find for the WIND Scav hunt, well done, the flags just make it, and of course the great sky..

Best wishes
Dawn.

So Janice it would seem that our weather of late has been coming from your direction...very similar conditions. Well done on the 'find' and the composition, love the darker clouds above the surf club and the colours of the flags and the cones stand out nicely. Even on a windy day I think that view would be rather pleasant. TFS,
David
Many thanks for your comment on

Hola Janice...incredible scene...full of "drama": What fantastic & menacing clouds, wonder what those people are still doing on the beach! Love the contrast you created between left - calm in a way and right - menacing over the building.
Its either in house or...away!
Saludos,
Robert

Hello Janice,
I love the atmosphere in this picture! One thing is clear, we can feel this wind blowing. I like this great lightning and contrast with excellent POV and composition. This sky is impressive. Well done! Thanks,

Hi Janice,
Wonderful picture with lots of things to see. I like particular the seagul in the left upper corner. The dark gray clouds predict rain you can almost feel it already. Very well composed with a nice POV great sharpness and nice colours. Very well done Janice and TFS!

Hello Janice,
Good capture of a windy day - I just wonder how this one would look like in BW. It is one of the picturese that tell us a story. Maybe it is already written as Jonothan Seagull or similar ...
