Catching the Wind by seattlite

Catching the Wind

Seattle had another wind/rain storm yesterday. A few Cormorants were sitting atop wooden pilings that were shaking in the wind. I was lucky to get this shot while his wings were in a full spread. A 75ft blue spruce went down in my neighbor's yard due to the high winds but fortunately it did not hit any power lines.
Wow, awesome capture. Fav!

Impressive capture. FAV. We too had a heavy storm yesterday with very strong winds. I was out with one of my brothers in his car and was afraid some big tree branch would break off and fall on our car.

Great timing to have the wings outstretched. Must have been quite a wind to take down such a big tree.

Wonderful. I really enjoy to look at the details of the wings.

brilliant timing! sorry to hear about the falling tree in this great strong wind. Hope nobody gets injured. Strong winds can be so destructive
