Sandstorms are an annual occurrence in spring, when strong winds blow over ploughed fields, but today's sandstorm is exceptional. Getting this shot was thoroughly unpleasant, with sand blowing into my face, but the visibility here is far better than it was a little further east, where it was down to almost zero.
