Giant sandstorm in Iraq

Yeah these photos may date back to 2005, but a giant wall of sand moving at 60mph never gets old!

These amazing photos were taken by a civilian contractor who was supporting US troops in Iraq. he might be an amateur photographer but he did a pretty good job with these pictures, I must say. I wonder what was going on in the minds of the people in that camp, seeing something like that coming towards you at an incredible speed messes up your thinking completely.

I’ve never seen a sandstorm like this, maybe just in movies like The Mummy, but that doesn’t count, it was computer generated. Mother nature sure has some powerful weapons at her disposal…

    No bro, I removed your comment because it had a big, fat, spammy link in it. This isn’t a place for you to advertise your site and, about this being a sandstorm that hit Sidney, well you’re the only one claiming this, so instead of posting links to your blog, post a link that proves what you say is right and I’ll change everything I said and take my hat off to you
