Strong winds boiling clouds on hot mountains.

When something boils it tends to rise and it is similar in nature.

Look! The clouds swallowed the mountains. This is the first corner that we drive into from our house, and normally there is a lovely and clear sight of the mountains.

But not today, as we had a very strong wind blowing from the East, from behind the mountains. An opposing strong wind coming in from the West over the Atlantic Ocean side, blocked the clouds on the mountain range.
Our intention was to drive to the local Rape Crisis Center, but I dropped all to go and get a clearer look at the mountains. They are only 6 kilometers away from our house.

I also mention a near accident in here from photo number 7.
So, come and look.

That tower cloud in the center rose straight up as soon as it touched the mountain base.

See why I call them boiling clouds?

All steam here below.

And here's that tower cloud breaking through now into the sky.

Right, let's pop in for a quick cup of coffee.

But hey, watch this. The wind snapped a branch off and it almost landed on a parked car.

See that old dry tree? Car suicide to park under it when a wind is blowing in gusts of up to 50 kph. So we found the owner and she rushed to get her car away from that dead tree.

As we left the coffee place, I wanted to show you how the wind combed a palm tree's hair.

And then it was back, and we could only see faint outlines of the mountains.

Finally, that dancing loose little cloud at the front waved us goodbye.

I so wish that you could hear and see this for yourselves, as all that I can tell you is that the scenes are so magnificent to watch. A scary sight to see how a gust of wind can grab one of the big and strong oak trees and the wind shaking the big branches around like rags. Leaves and debris flying around all over the place.

Oh, I almost forgot. Here is a pastel sight of an oak tree leaf flying across the moon face.

Yes, I clicked too quickly, but the wind was also jerking me around :)

We have already had some large trucks blown over by the wind on the major highways, and the strength of the wind gusts has also confused many a ship captain that ended up in a lifeboat. So when these winds start to appear, it is best to find strong shelter as it can blow one right off your feet.
But of course, I like the challenge to take photos in the wind.

I hope you have enjoyed the photos and the story.

And That's All Friends.
