Caturday Challenge #5: Elements

Welcome to the fifth Caturday Challenge!
This week's theme will be...

ELEMENTS

The task is to pick an element listed below and use it to create something, doesn't matter what. It could be an entity, animal, character, scenery, natural phenomenon, building, magic... or just redraw the image.

One condition only: the texture must be recognizable. (i.e. three wavy lines for water or Harry Potter's scar for lightning do not come into consideration.)

Earth
Water
Fire
Wind (due to invisibility of the wind, it may be visualized as clouds in motion, or  however the artist sees it.)
Lightning


The purpose of this challenge is to practice the physics of natural elemental appearance, so the punishment for not doing the assignment is to draw THIS! (Don't be fooled, it's very hard.)
Deadline: 15.12.2013. 23:00

Let the Caturday Challenge begin!
