I thought I'd share a picture of how this week ended for us in Dubai.
A sandstorm.
And yes it really was this orange, no editing.
I hope you don't mind but seeing as the sandstorm made such an impression on UK news, judging by the number of people who messaged me, I though I'd add a few more pictures to this blog post.
during
after
very few cars with lights on
hoping the bus can see me
the view of a 14 lane highway, can just about see the other side
operation 'remove the dust' begins
Wow!!! That looks really bad! Sad people don't have their lights on though. Visibility must have been very poor
ReplyDeletedown to 50 meters at some points
DeleteThat's a pretty impressive sand storm. Good luck clearing the dust! that's gonna be quite a job. By the way, that was quite a comment you left on my blog the other day. You really have had some heavy duty experiences as a parent haven't you??
ReplyDeletelol John I sure do and the sandstorm i'm told was 'normal'
DeleteWow that is quite a sandstorm!

DeleteI am hearing from friends who lives there that there is going to be another one. Stay safe.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter! #MySundayPhoto
look alike the next one due has missed us
DeleteI heard about this as my dad has a friend out there on holiday this week and my cousin's hubby is also in Dubai with his company this weekend. Bet the cleanup operation is a pain in the bum! Happy Easter by the way :)
ReplyDeleteoh I've given up trying to keep the sand out the house while the teen is here leaving doors open
DeleteHow yellow the whole world becomes during the sand storm. Does it sting the skin? I cannot imagine waiting for the bus! Thanks for sharing I have never seen a photo comparing the same area during and after. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteit's very strange, you can feel the sand in the air, although you can feel it in your lungs
DeleteWOw that's incredible, is this a regular thing?
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up
the sandstorms occur as the seasons change
DeleteWow, that really is amazing, the during and after pictures are so contrasting
ReplyDeleteMollyxxx
