It’s been extremely windy here at Playa Summer Lake. Apparently, not uncommonly windy for the area, but definitely uncommonly windy for me.
I’ve experienced high wind before. In fact, I think I live on one of the windiest blocks in all of Manhattan. But the wind here is different. It is relentless. It’s not a biting wind, it’s a punching wind. It doesn’t sound like any wind I’ve ever heard before, it sounds more like an unknown creature, a giant ferocious primal living thing.
Here’s 15 seconds of video I shot with my dinky little Canon PowerShot A460; it’s a lame attempt to capture the wind.
