An Amarillo photographer's personal journey through the Dust Bowl- with past and present eyes.

Panhandle duster - from the air.

Click to enlarge:


A couple days ago we had a particularly bad dust storm. Great plumes of dirt were lifted into the sky by strong SW winds and deposited it on Amarillo and the surrounding plains.

An Amarilo NWS service employee shot the above image on his iphone - looking out the window on the duster below as he flew over the Texas Panhandle.

Somewhere below is yours truly - and several hundred thousand people - all swearing and wiping the grit from their watering eyes.
