There is a story behind this film. Since Annie and Stormrider could not find a painting or picture that represented this discussion topic; we looked high and low all over the internet trying to locate an animation of some wind blowing the trees and some clouds moving in the sky. Still no luck!
We called upon our esteemed "Queen of Research" and she even had a difficult time finding anything; but she came up with a great idea! (We knew we could count on you, DaleAnn!)
Her son, Danny, and his friend, Connor, create films for fun and they very graciously offered to create the short clip that is provided above for your enjoyment. It takes a little while to load and is not too long, but I am very pleased with its outcome!
Thank you Danny, Connor, and DaleAnn!

Now for the discussion!
Several times the change in the Wind is noted:

The people who note this change seem pleased by it.
Is this a good sign that the tides will be turned in Gondor's and Rohan's favor?
Or is it false hope for the Men of Gondor and their allies?
Is Sauron running out of his fabricated darkness and must recreate it?
Do you think it means the Ringbearer has succeeded in his mission to destroy the Ring?

Several times the change in the Wind is noted:
Ghân: "Suddenly he stood looking up like some startled woodland animal snuffling a strange air. A light came in his eyes. 'Wind is changing!' he cried, and with that, in a twinkling as it seemed, he and his fellows had vanished into the glooms."
Wídfara: "I live upon the open Wold in days of peace; and to me the air brings messages. Already the wind is turning. There comes a breadth out of the South; there is a sea-tang in it. faint though it be. The morning will bring new tidings. Above the reek it will be dawn when you pass the wall."
Merry: "Then suddenly Merry felt it at last, beyond doubt: a change, Wind was in his face! Light was glimmering. Far, far away, in the South the clouds could be dimly seen as remote grey shapes, rolling up, drifting: morning lay beyond them."
