The wind was so hard the sand got into everything and stung on the face. The woman in the distance didn't do much to protect her camera. The guy walking did.

Post-challenge edit: My equipment was fine. They were real photographers. A lower angle would have been better, but I was out there for probably an hour and was cold and tired of it all. It was a spontaneous shot!

cool, I just wish you could've been closer to the ground when you took this...but maybe you were afraid the sand would get in the lens. Understandable.
Looks like Lake Michigan. You've certainly captured wind at work in this photo. The color tone selection works well to give it a harsh gritty feeling. Nicely done! Hope your gear was ok in that environment! Good luck in the challenge.
Definitely meets the challenge (even without the overly descriptive title) and pretty much a very nice shot on it's own - nice lines with the line of lamps, the walkway, the columns, and whatever it is on the horizontal. Sky is awesome.
wow...this is excellent for the challenge...I would have liked you to drop the camera down a little for composition, but great image in b and w and it conveys a strong wind...well done
