High cross winds and snow made this shoot a lot of fun. The Grandstand rock formation in the foreground almost looks like a ship under sail in these conditions. In case you're wondering, I saw no moving rocks while I was there, but I did see a small fragment of a tumbleweed streak across the playa!
