Habitat. Sand Storm in Iraq
Habitat. Photography of a Sand Storm in Iraq: Is there beauty in nature's destruction? These photos demonstrate nature's fury and creativity. Since sand storms aren't something you have to worry about while living in New York or Philly, it's hard to imagine what something like this looks like - well imagine no more. We're not sure who the photographer is, but while in Iraq he/she took a few pictures of this massive storm.
Here's a brief explanation of a Sand Storm: "A dust storm (or sandstorm in some contexts) is a meteorological phenomenon common in dry, arid and semi-arid regions. Such a storm is usually the result of convection currents created by intense heating of the ground. These currents then carry sand over large distances."
