As I was sitting with a couple of friends this morning the wind began to blow from the west. Soon it was strong enough that we decided that the umbrella should come down, and I retreated to the house. An hour or so later, the sky outside the window turned a dark brown and the wind absolutely howled around the garden. One of our wonderful spring sandstorms hit us with a vengeance. The garden fence, which is barely visible in the photo was only about 15 metres away.
'tis the time of the year! I must admit that I liked the feeling of a sandstorm now and again: sorta like a good snowstorm that keeps you inside. All was well until I had to clean up the dust that crept in or try to salvage the laundry that was left out.
ReplyDeleteI have heard about these sand storms and how awful they can be...how the sand gets into everything!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very interesting image. At first glance it looks like an oil painting. Lovely image you have captured.
