 Ice crystals forced into the stratosphere by very high winds form nacreous clouds, which "glow" in multi-colors at sunset.

Winds aloft but calm below, it appears. The trees form a nice silhouette to frame the clouds.

Very cool looking clouds. Thin connection to the challenge theme IMO. Myself, I'm looking for wind that is more tangible and can be felt physically. If the image makes me feel like I can almost feel the wind then it has a strong connection. JMO of course. Interesting photo and well captured overall considering the tricky exposure and lighting. Best of luck to you in the challenge.

this photo is so well done... the trees are in crisp focus - the dark blue of the sky really makes the Lenticular clouds pop out - the composition is excellent.
