The Wind on the Prairie


The Wind on the Prairie
THOR09D-94
July 11, 2009

There is always so much static in nature photography, there is a lot of crisp, stationary shots that do not move, where the detail is recorded in perfection of a single snap (or multiple snaps squashed to an HDR).  But nature itself is a dynamic process, things are always moving and changing, even in the most serene scene.  I like the motion that is conveyed among these prairie grasses, the feeling of movement and chaos that a windy day in the badlands has.  Enjoy.
