dirt in the air, looks just like rain

this is not rain. it’s a dirt storm.

By its very nature the beautiful is isolated from everything else. From beauty no road leads to reality.

I dread to think of the state of your car if you were driving in this, sherri

Such an ominous sky that accompanied this dirt storm!! Excellent timing to capture this as it travels across the road! Amazing how this can be created. Is this a once-in-a-while occurrence or are you going through a semi-drought?

A super image of the nasty blowing dust. I ran into similar in southern California last year.

We have plenty of heat and dust. Rain needed. Interesting gritty moment captured.

Atmosphère incroyable, mais doit être très désagréable ce genre de tempête.

Good for you for capturing this! Dust storms can be very hard to translate!

Kicking up a dirt storm! How dramatically moody, Sherri, especially knowing it’s NOT rain (which we so desperately need right now).

oh man, amazing. I love the moodiness of this image and your choice of monotone is absolutely contributing to that feel. Nice.

A spectacular and very dramatic image. I cannot imagine what this must be like. I have never been in one.
