“Desert Storm"
On our last day we spent the evening in Arches National Park in Utah. I went ahead of the family and took some presunset images and then drove back to the hotel to pick them up for what was intended to be some short hikes around Delicate Arch and the Windows section of the park.
As we were driving in, the front of a short storm was coming in. The wind picked up to 60 miles per hour with a few raindrops as we reached the park. I got out of the car and walked just a short distance to this location with the wind behind me and the sand of the desert pelting the back of my legs. I fired off a few rounds of the camera and captured this scene. I quickly scurried back to the car for safety. We waited about an hour inside the park and shot a few more locations before calling it quits for the night. I was probably the one only one that thought this but it was a perfect way to end our Holiday. Nature at it’s best.
