POTN Powershot Speed Challenge #155 - Wind

The last challenge got me to thinking about possible new challenge ideas. I came up with an idea that is new at least to me. Unlike "flowers" or "pets" etc. this subject is indirect. When it comes time to vote for your favorite, please place extra emphasis on how the theme is expressed. Thanks and Good Luck.
