Photo hunt - wind! Help?

Post by serafaery » Tue Aug 21, 2007 11:57 am

I'm looking for an old photo (probably from the 1990s) that used to be used to show people exactly how strong the winds can get on the playa. I seem to recall a tent or shade structure achieving near-liftoff in the background, but the main attraction is a guy literally losing the shirt off his back over his head from the gale. Various camp equipment and ruffage is airborne all around. I'd love to be able to point people at this image in the future.
