Into the great wide open ...

When the winds come whipping through Texas and they happen upon a freshly plowed field - it will sometimes lift the topsoil straight up into the Panhandle sky - making for an amazing sight.

They call it a "haboob" a middle-eastern term, usually look like a rolling wall of dirt.

I caught this one as it was just beginning to lift into the atmosphere and before it began to roll.

Beautiful but not when you are enveloped by one.
