We've seen it all... appeared to be the expression of these sheep in the face of the oncoming Saharan sand-storm. The white "wall" in the background is sand, lifted up and carried by the wind. The sand would change colors depending on the density of clouds above, but at this point it just seemed like a white, impenetrable wall. Seconds later, the wall would be where the sheep were in the picture. Once you are in the middle of it, you cannot see further than a couple yards and the sand has it's evil ways to get EVERYWHERE. I had to hide my eyes and my camera. However, the little Canon still remembers the experience, whenever I try to rotate any dials. The sheep did not seem to be bothered though...
Surfers and swimmers on a windy day, Biarritz, France
My husband and I were flying back from our honeymoon when our plane had to reroute to avoid some particularly bad thunderstorms. Being from a small farming community in western Kansas, I was able to guess about where the storm was and pulled out my camera like any good Kansan would, hoping to see if maybe there was a tornado at the base of the cloud. I found out later that indeed, there was! And my brothers were on the ground chasing it!!
There is nothing a like witnessing a storm rolling over a city. I was in the right place at the right time.
