 I live near the beach. I looked out my window and could see a really thick bank of fog blowing in. It was moving really fast so I ran inside and grabbed my camera. After I turned the camera on, I had about 10 seconds to set the camera up and turn it on. I literally took 5 seconds for the sky to go from "starry to foggy." It was pretty cool. I may be stretching it for the challenge, nevertheless, this is a perfect biproduct of wind.

If this was a 5 second exposure, then it truly does not represent wind as there would me some motion blus in the trees. Or maybe I just don't get it. It's otherwise a nice night time exposure though.

isn't it wind we supposed to capture? But I like the picture though.

Interesting atmospheric conditions. I'm a bit put off by the extremely literal title. Having a more ambiguous title would leave more creativity on the viewer's part and leave your photo up to personal interpretation. Spelling it out for us takes away some of the mystery.

It's a nice image, with good exposure and nice colors - one problem. Nothing here says or shows wind to me. It it's really windy, you could have caught it with a little slower shutter.

Nice snap shot. No real outstanding feature to make it more than that.
