I experienced my first sandstorm yesterday. I tried to post these pictures, but the internet was so slow, because EVERYONE was inside, staying out of the dust. The above photo, is what it looked like, rolling in around 4am. By mid-day, it looked like we were in a foggy, overcast day, and by 4pm - when it's usually bright as day, the sand and dust were so thick, it was like night time.
It was easy to see a few yards in front of you, because the sand and dust is so fine, your eyes dismiss it at close range, but as you can see in the photos, it was everywhere. Those aren't blots on my lens, those are individual dust and sand particles mucking up the picture (I can't believe I was breathing this stuff in, just to get a few photos).
Here is a picture of what it usually looks like here...
And this was this afternoon...

you should submit that first photo9 to a contest. It is a very powerful visual. Make sure to have a hard copy and date stamp it.
I now think you should think about photo journalism.
