Silver Strand Kitesurfing, Time Lapse 2.5hours

Getting over a sore back allowed me to shoot this instead of being out in the water. Added bonus is the tropical moisture streaming overhead, in two layers. 2.5 hours, almost 2400 pictures, originally shoot at 1600x1200, resized to 640x480. QuickTime Pro compiled this at 15fps. Shoot on a Canon powershot SD600 running CHDK. Approximate delay between images was 4 seconds.

Looks like the clouds are going 90 degrees to the wind???

Good observation! I didn't notice that! Add a third moving layer to the lower atmosphere that day

That was funny to watch that. Classic San Diego question...should I stay or should I go now?? But It looked good enough to go out, especially after already pumping up!

Yeah were you tripping on acid? Maybe you've never even been to Mount Vesuvius...

Wait... Am I taking crazy pills? Were you on a 12 the whole time, or were you waiting for the wind? I'm no mathematician, but those sound like fairly mutually exclusive statements.
