    Stunning.

    On a side note, I feel sorry for whoever owns that pool.

    Great shot... I think it gives great perspective shooting from the backyard, how close it hits to home

    wow. powerful shot.

    so, how long after this shot was taken did this dust cloud envelope your home? and does it take forever to clean up after something like this?

    Within about 3 minutes it was on me, clean up isn't really to bad just hose everything down to get rid of the dust. The pool turns into a duck pond after one of these so you need to wash out the filters pretty often. It does get into the house through every little tiny place it can that's the worst part.

    I just took a look at your gallery and your lightning pics are off-the-hook! I think this one might be a composite, but it's one of the most beautiful lightning pics I've seen. Nice work.

    Wonderful shot. I live in Phoenix and I think your backyard was a great setting for such a shot.

    That shot the lightning and clouds are legit, the only thing I added to that shot is the water. The original shot can be found in the lightning gallery.

    I've been seeing a few dust storm photos lately, but oddly this is the first time. lol3.gif Do these happen each year, on a seasonal basis? I'm intrigued!

    Stunning shot, btw. thumb.gif
