Above the dust storm by

The day I flew out of Sydney there was at that time a huge dust storm. As I sat on the plane early in the morning, I looked out and what I thought was fog became more orange as the sun rose – I wondered what exactly was going on. It was only later in Perth, when I saw the news, that I realised the extent of the dust.

About smallfox

Born in London, grew up in Perth, Western Australia, now living in Sydney.
I have always loved photography but only started to take it as seriously as I now do around 2008.
Mostly, my pics are animals and urban scenes, but really I will make a photo of anything that I deem suitable; because, I love variety and making different images.

    Right place, right moment – fascinating photo of the Big Dusty from a different perspective. Taking decent shots out of jets is so hard, too. Great stuff!

  • Thank you. Yes, this is the best plane window shot I’ve got.
