We asked our readers to send in their best pictures on the theme of “a windy day”. Here is a selection of the photographs we received from around the world.
Lee Slater
Lee Slater: “Getting blasted at Farewell Spit in New Zealand’s Golden Bay, created by windblown sands.”
Veronika Voitkevica
Veronika Voitkevica: “It wasn’t that windy, we were just messing around.”
Claire Hughes
Claire Hughes: “Kody’s ears are a good indicator of how windy it is on our walks.”
Tim Reekie
Tim Reekie: “These ladies were out in the wind of Storm Eunice taking some shots as the crashing waves landed at Stokes Bay in Gosport.”
Leonardo Fugoso Jr
Leonardo Fugoso Jr: “I was behind this lady when wind started whipping us from the side.”
Artemis Sianos
Artemis Sianos sent in this fun picture: “There’s always at least a slight breeze on this peak in the Pilis Mountains in Hungary, but on windier days you need to anchor yourself to avoid being blown away.”
Roger Smith
Roger Smith: “Rogina is one of the keen kite surfers who takes advantage of the strong onshore winds at Waikanae beach, Kapiti Coast, New Zealand.”
Marcus Simmons
Marcus Simmons: “Opting for a UK summer holiday we were rewarded with very cold and windy conditions in Hastings. The lifeguards put out red warning flags which were almost bent double by the wind.”
Anne Bostwick
Anne Bostwick: “Empty deckchairs in a strong westerly wind on Seaford Beach in East Sussex.”
Paul Griffin
Paul Griffin: “This is an image of my daughter flying a kite in Northampton, Massachusetts, on a windy day in March 1985. It was made on black and white film. I recently scanned the negative and colourised the image in Photoshop. I enjoy the soft pastel feel to the colours, they seem evoke the nostalgia and memories I have of this wonderful day.”
Graham Woollven
Graham Woollven: “Skilled sailors race their RS Aero dinghies at the National Championships being held at Felpham, West Sussex.”
Henrietta Englefield
Henrietta Englefield: “I never thought I would send a (very rare) selfie to the BBC, but this one, taken during Storm Bert, tells a story. I was using the wind to dry my rain-soaked hair as I stood high on the North Downs.”
Kim Osborn
Kim Osborn: “On a winter’s walk I discovered an umbrella blown by the winds high into the trees. As light as a feather bouncing from branch to branch.”
Shane Aden Barker
Shane Aden Barker: “Multiple exposures and then layering them together produced this interesting shot of a wind turbine in motion. I love the fact that I caught some walkers near it to give it scale.”
Doris Enders
Doris Enders: “On a windy day I walked by a shipyard and saw this plastic cover flapping in the wind.”
Juliet Davis
Juliet Davis: “Trying to figure out how to capture the wind, I came up with this idea. Standing on a hill in Suffolk on a very windy day with my hair whipping round my face. Took a few goes to get a decent shot.”
