W is for Wind (and Weeping Angels)

Click to see theme

Wind is prevalent in the high desert of California. I did most of my growing up there, during my teen years. In fact, I'm there at this moment, at my parents' house, doing my work and blogging from home. The wind was very strong yesterday, and especially last night. It has died down considerably today, which is why I was able to capture it on a gif. Although not as strong as earlier, you can see how my video slowly tilts, as I tilt to the wind. I also put on a neat filter, which was actually just a way to make the file smaller while keeping the length and pixel size.

I have also made this gif available on this Tumblr post.

Also, check out this graphic with the strongest #wind gusts since yesterday afternoon! #cawx pic.twitter.com/crX0qGpswL
