I had not planned on submitting a photo to this week’s challenge because I honestly couldn’t think of any wacky or awe-inspiring photos that I’ve taken. After a little bit of encouragement from Tim Z. Auto, it occurred to me that the recent photos I shared on my blog of a massive dust storm that rolled through my area was pretty awe-inspiring.

Yep. That is all dirt and wind. I had to outrun/ out-drive this thing to stay just ahead of it and get inside.

Yup. I took that photo. I was driving along when I saw it coming and happened to be near a baseball stadium. I pulled into the parking lot and took as many photos as I could in 90 seconds. I then had to hurry and get back in the car.

Yes, it is. I should add that in the caption, huh?
