More dust, more smoke

[shmelly]

Yesterday afternoon another dust storm blew up and with it smoke from grass fires, so I rushed out to take pictures.



I really must get myself an N grad filter



as the sun got lower in the sky it became more obscured by the atmosphere



and even before the sun set you could no longer see it. This is one of the last pictures I could take of it, within a few seconds you could no longer see it.

Michelle, These photos are haunting and erie. I love your first two photos with the sun shining on the tips and edges of the grass. I'm trying to imagine the layers of dust on everything. I can almost feel the grit.

Hi Haywood, I keep seeing how 'dangerous' it is too, but no dust storms are something that happens whenever it is particularly dry. The wind is blowing over central Australia and dumping top dressing on absolutely anything and everything around. So all I can say is it is very inconvenient because everything (outside and inside) is covered in dust and must be cleaned away.

I can feel the grit Lindy, it is on everything!! because I went out to take photos yesterday I can fell the grit in the lens when I move it, I can also feel the prickles in my butt because I sat down in the wrong place. You would suffer from dust storms too, wouldn't you?
