This is from a dream I had once in which I'm looking at the corner of a
building outside and from very close.  There was a miniature tornado on the
ground where a concrete walk is and also a barren dirt ground along the
adjacent wall.  Apparently a constant wind blew and yet seemed relatively
slow, more like it was very thick air.  Needless to say it was yet another
strange dream.
I couldn't capture the essence of it.  Used the Colefax ClockMod.inc to
animate the movement; something went wrong with a combining of clock types
so it glitches instead of looping right.
Not complete yet, I still need to add etching via a HF or isosurface because
it should wear away the concrete as well, among other things.
Just trying for the unusual here.

P.S.  Great new animations being posted here, hope you all keep it going.

I was waiting for the Tasmanian Devil to come out of that tornado! That's
really amazing, Bob. How about a few pieces of debris getting flung out of
the tornado - maybe a high-speed chunk could fly right past the camera for a
dramatic effect...

Regards,
Dave

Reminds me of twirls i sometimes have seen in hot regions looking like the
following:

Usually they are some meters high and only exist for a few minutes, but
they can also be much larger and become quite dangerous when moving near a
road where you are driving with a car.
