Riding The Storm

[woodsac]

Another one from Friday's outing. I don't think I mentioned how nasty it was outside Storm front made for nice clouds, but the sacrifice was the wind and blowing sand. You can see the white sand blowing up in the back ground. To give you an idea of how hard the wind was blowing, that blowing sand is about 3/4 mile away. Sometimes you can't even see the mountains in the bg it gets so thick

Thanks guys!

I was kinda worried about having that show up good?

Sorry, no color version. Well...there is an original, but it went straight to b/w

Well, this is quite appealing.
For several reasons.
A) the vanishing point of the rail track (vanishing points do as much to me as the colour green does, as long as it is "natural green").
B) The dark, brooding, overhanging cloud cover - so detailed that we even get to see where the first rain is beginning to fall (did it reach the ground?)
C) The sand storm, of course! That is such a cool capture. I assume you managed to get your camera and lenses out of it before the sand arrived?

Thanks again...tons!
Yep, got in the truck no problem here. But I did get blasted once while I was out there. It just came so quick that I couldn't get away. Just had to turn my back to it, put my lens against my stomach and ride it out

Someone else just mentioned this a couple days ago. Not a single print in our house right now?
