These images are beautiful.

They remind me of a few times when I’ve been able to see the patterns the wind creates, to visualise wind.

First up was strong winds in the desert, whipping sand off the dunes and creating patterns in the air.

Second was in Canada, during light snow fall. A thin layer of snow, dust like, was on the roads. And the cars / winds would whip it up to about 10 cm’s off the road. It enabled the visualisation of both the wind and the air being pushed around by cars and trucks. I found it mesmerising.

Usually it’s only visible through clouds, and it’s mostly static, unless the wind is incredibly strong.

Does anyone have other situations where they’ve been able to see wind? Or other usually invisible phenomena?
