This week, share a force of nature from your corner of the world.
Having grown up in San Diego, California, I’m no stranger to the beach — but no matter how often I encounter the ocean, I’m still amazed at its sheer scale and power.

During my travels, I’ve found each part of the world has its own forces of nature to observe and experience. Whether it’s the towering white clouds on the beaches of Thailand, the massive waterfalls at Yosemite, or the fast-moving fog in San Francisco Bay, it seems everywhere we go, nature is putting on a show for us.
This week, share a force of nature from your corner of the world. It can be something as large as the Grand Canyon, or as small as the tiny seedling steadily breaking is way through the concrete in your driveway.
I like the abstract quality of your photo as well as that it shows a beautiful force of nature.

The forces of nature are certainly being felt here at the moment, spring has failed to show it’s face, instead it’s strong wind and rain… typical England! 😀

Wow, what a wonderful picture, it has a dream like quality that surf shots normally do not have, and the sharp foam and soft waves to the right make it just fascinating, great shot!

The force of Nature in the Wisconsin woodlands is evident even in the wildflowers. You may think they’re quite fragile, but their urge to surge and grow is amazing. I’m adopting them as my ‘spirit flowers’ for Mother’s Day!
