Dust Storms in Aus

Awesome! Sand storms make for incredible light.

Here's a couple I snapped in Syria a few years back:

Not the best photos but it was literally raining mud - Not good for camera.

Awesome shots.

Didn't read what you wrote and was about to ask why Sydney is looking like Jordan/Iraq ;D
