16th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Sahara Storm

You feel the wind in your hair, you feel the sand at your feet, you're living in that moment of tranquility in the Sahara Desert when all of a sudden you hear the rumbles of thunder from a distance. You look up at the sky...it pauses for a moment...and then in its most magnificent form, the sky splits open and unfolds both heaven and earth before you like nothing you've ever seen before...
