We have had Sand Storm in Spain today, it comes from Africa and pass the Mediterranean Sea. This gives much dust all over here and if we have washed clothe and hanged this outside, we can start all over again. You can see the dust over the sea here, first I thought there were fire, but found out, it was Sand Storm instead, not so dangerous…
I photographed these photos, while I walked with Odin in the afternoon
We are not far from the sea here, but I didn’t feel like going there in this dust
Here you can see the dust change the color of our usual beautiful blue sky
Here we look from a little more far away
We pass from here, when we go for our walks, away from most houses
Here you can see both the beautiful blue sky and the Sand Storm
This is our usual place for walking at the moment and the sand did fly here too
I hope, that you enjoyed to join us

that sand comes all the way to Belgium and gives us red dust on the cars…that is if the wind keeps comming from the South, we get it a couple of time per year
I have heard about this before, also in Scandinavia, when the wind has been very tough. It is far away, also i Belgium.
It sure is a long way it can be blown, when I first heard about it I thought they were just joking lol
Wow. We have something like this in Arizona, but thankfully, not here in Arkansas. We have a LOT more dust than others just being on top of the hill, but I’m glad we don’t have to contend with THAT much. I hope it blows AWAY from you. Thanks for sharing the amazing pictures, Irene.
Thank you, Linda. This storm comes from the sea and directly to all of us, who are living just a little close here. I live about 300 meter from the sea.
I was told, that many parts of Spain were hit by this yesterday. I hope, it will be away today.
That’s quite a sight, some weather I have never experienced (other than sand whipping about the shore). I suspect this is far more intense than that, though.
Thank you Melissa. It is intense, while it is going on.
I can relate all too well, Irene. Sand storms are a regular occurrence here in Arizona. Even without them, there is always dust/sand in the air because of the dry, arid climate of the desert. If you like to open windows and doors the way I do it means having to dust nearly every day.
Oh, then I’m satisfied with only seeing this sometimes here, Felicia. I can imagine, how annoying this would be, if it happened often.
I’ve seen pictures of sand storms but never experienced one. I don’t imagine there is anything pleasant about it!
It is also more annoying than beautiful, Colleen. It demands so much cleaning all over now. The sand is gluing to everything.
Well, I’m glad we don’t have sandstorms here!!!
Oh, my goodness, Irene. I thought we had it bad a week ago with our cold, straight line winds that sounded like they would blow us into the next hemisphere! At least we didn’t have dust to go with it. Beautiful photos, though. I’m in love with the area you are living in. ❤
Thank you for joining us, Angie 🙂
It is not so bad here, more the dust all over here, which demand so much cleaning of all. Just imagine the windows and cars.I really like this area ❤
Oh my, it’s good you stayed away from it, looks pretty unpleasant, to say the least! However, the views captured are wonderful, dear Irene!
Thank you very much, Ann 🙂
Gosh, I am pleased the sand storm was not too hectic. Frustrating about the washing though. Such beautiful pics Irene. Thank you for sharing your walk with me. Hugs for Odin 🙂
Thank you Lynne, I was lucky, it was away today again. I’m happy, that you enjoyed our walk. Odin is smiling 😀
