slgwv's photos with the keyword: wind

This happened a lot this last season--the ground got soaked and softened to the point that the wind pushed trees over, pulling the root crown right out of the ground. I've seen some places where several trees are lying parallel on the ground--no pix, however. By Houseman Camp reservoir, near Eagle Lake, California, off the Champs Flat road. Jack, our black tri Aussie shepherd, is in the pic to the left of the tree.

Lake Tahoe, looking directly west across from Cave Rock State Park, Nevada, to the Sierra Nevada in California. The prominent drainage to right of center is Eagle Creek, which ends at Emerald Bay.

Eastern Nevada, USA. Out the windshield of the moving Penske truck! (I was helping my son move to his new job in Pennsylvania.) The dirt road that runs straight up the mountain in the distance goes to the old mining camp of Osceola, NV. The main highway bends to the left at that point. The snowcapped peak visible to the left of center is Mt. Moriah, at >12K feet the 4th highest peak in Nevada. It's only the second-highest peak in the Snake Range; Mt. Wheeler, over 13K feet, is off the photo to the right.

Eastern Nevada, USA. Pic taken out the window of the moving Penske truck!

With the wind turbines just barely visible on the skyline. An oil/gas exploration derrick is at the extreme left edge of the photo.

The day of the Skinner Fire. Wind is raising spray from Washoe Lake.
