BACK TO WINTER ????

2008.05.22

Sirocco, scirocco, jugo or, rarely, siroc is a Mediterranean wind that comes from the Sahara and reaches hurricane speeds in North Africa and Southern Europe. It is known in North Africa by the arabic word qibli (قبلی i.e. "coming from the qibla".)
The Sirocco causes dusty, dry conditions along the northern coast of Africa, storms in the Mediterranean Sea, and cold, wet weather in Europe. The Sirocco's duration may be a half day or many days.
Many people attribute health problems to the Sirocco either because of the heat and dust along the African coastal regions or the cool dampness in Europe.
That's why my neck is like a marble block!!!

vollenda Awesome shot. I can feel the sirocco. It reminds me of our Santa Ana winds here in Southern California. They say the hot dry winds coming from our desert make people go crazy, like a full moon. I think it's just that we feel the power of the wind and can do nothing to stop it!

Primavera "Sopra o vento, sopra o vento,
Sopra alto o vento lá fora;
Mas também meu pensamento
Tem um vento que o devora.
Há uma íntima intenção
Que tumultua em meu ser
E faz do meu coração
O que um vento quer varrer "
(Fernando Pessoa)

Beautiful even though the weather is not.

LotoFoto Interesting words & great photo.
It sounds like our Santa Ana winds here (hot & dry).

RodolpheDeus Is it a scanned picture or a harsh treatment was applied in PS? Anyway I am really a big fan of those destroyed pixels in the clouds and the wonderful details of the jetty.
Splendid
