Dust Devil


During the descent for landing at the airport of Esfahan a dust devil could be noticed at the ground of the desert. It consisted of mineral dust and lasted for several seconds. The images were taken within four seconds and show the final state of the dust devil. At the ground the shadow of the dust devil can be seen.
