Earlier in the week, I captured a dust storm as it was approaching. The sky was gorgeous as the sun was setting, adding even more color to the storm. Usually, a dust storm out here in the day can have a tan to bright orange color to it. This one has all sorts due to the sunsetting, and mixing with storm clouds and clear sky as well. I wanted to take more photos of it as it approached, but there was too much sand to damage my lens, and it hits you like sandpaper, as well as blows small rocks in the air from the wind. Not to mention all the lightning. It knocked power out for a few hours, but I used our solar back up power. Sometimes, we're the only onlys with power for the night. This is a small corner of my property, along the fence. Lots of barren ara, but we park and turn the cars around on this part.
