Prairie Tempest

If this appears a bit soft it's probably due to the fact that this was a 15 second exposure in extremely windy conditions. I personally enjoy the movement in the image. It was a classic scene of the intrepid photographer trying to avoid getting struck with his wife patiently waiting in the safety of the car listening to Harry Potter (plug: the books on tape version is incredibly well read by Jim Dale) all the while with a massive thunderstorm going on in the background.
