Dust Storm

Dust Storm, originally uploaded by jeff holte.

Sitting in my office in Doha. Reading with two students. One student says "Look outside". In about a minute the sky turned from sunny to this. This dust storm lasted more than 3 days. It's beautiful and strange. The dust gets into everything, however.
