 I saw these from the freeway and thought of 'Stationary'.
The second from the left is actually a cell phone tower disguised as a plam tree.
They are everywhere.
Adjusted levels, contrast, color and curves.

Very humorous and a nice composition with a dramatic sky. It might benefit from some of the post-processing tricks they are talking about on the Landscape Photo Learning Thread. Check it out and see what you think.

Technically the trees and the cell phone tower are stationary but the overall feel of the image does convey a considerable amount of motion. The clouds have a stormy feel and the wind that comes with it. The image also suffers from soft focus, which could be caused by downsizing the image or camera movement associated with too slow of shutter speed. Compounding the soft feel is the flat overall look of the image. A little post processing work with levels and saturation would give this image a bit more PoP.

Now that is some good camouflage. I like the stormy look of the sky.
