That photo is a spin. I was a young fella working at a military base in melbourne in '82 when i walked outside & looked straight at a dust storn closing in. The sun was gone & i remember we were trying to drive home in a bus & we just kept stopping getting pedestrians onboard as they were having trouble breathing caught in it.

Here is a shot of it....not my photo.

Cool picture.

These shots look like something the CGI folks might produce as a "special effect" for a blockbuster movie.

Mother Nature - Queen of the special effects. . .

Thanks, link is a good one and I've used the methods before.

Luckily I wasn't in this sandstorm but was amused by the amazing pics on yahoo. But any soldier in Iraq with a dslr who went through that storm - they'll need that link for sure!

After a serious dust storm, you might need some wet cleaning like this (http://digismile.smugmug.com/photos/10925456-L.jpg).:D
