Depictions of wild gales on a mountain pass (8)

'depictions' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'wild gales on a mountain pass' is the wordplay.
'wild' indicates anagramming the letters.
'on' is an insertion indicator (as in clothing 'on' a person).
'a mountain pass' becomes 'col' (col is a kind of mountain pass).
'gales' with letters rearranged gives 'lages'.
'lages' placed around 'col' is 'COLLAGES'.

'of' is the link.
