A RED DUST STORM, a photo from Parana, South

Photographer's Note

Please, open in a largest format.
Usually our rains come back in September and storms are usual, this year we faced one of the worst weathers of our history with a big series of frosts mixed with many periods of drought and isolated giant rains.
During that week occurred many dry storms bringing red dust in many places of south-central Brazil, something the press put as a symbol of a climatic disaster.
I took this image from my office window, the soil was nude, waiting the rains to receive the seeds and the strong winds took the dry red soil to the air.
you can see some videos in state of S鉶 Paulo here:

..............

Geralmente nossas chuvas retornam em setembro e tempestades s鉶 comuns, contudo, nesse ano tivemos um clima terr韛el com uma s閞ie de geadas, v醨ios per韔dos de estiagem e chuvas isoladas muito fortes.
Naquela semana ocorreram muitos epis骴ios de ventania levantando poeira, algo que a imprensa noticiou nos estados do centro-sul do BR, alarmando sobre os pren鷑cios de um desastre clim醫ico.
Tirei essa foto da janela do meu escrit髍io, o solo estava nu e seco, preparado para receber a chuva e as sementes, mas veio o vento forte e levantou a poeira.

Hello Jorge,

We see really the trees bend with the storm, the sky full dust.
Not easy to make this picture but very successful.
Pleasant to look at.
Very well done, TFS.

Best regards,
John

Hi Jorge,

The storm is hiding the background, I can feel the wind the way the trees are bending. The point of view is showing the details of the trees and of the roofs. The sand storm is affecting the colors. Have a nice day.

Hola Jorge.
Impresionante imagen donde podemos suponer la fuerza del viento por la gran inclinacion de los arboles, el paisaje, el pueblo todo se desdibuja por la gran nube de polvo, estais teniendo un clima espantoso este a駉, confiemos que mejore.
Muy bien captada esta imagen informativa del hecho. Buen trabajo.
Te deseo pases una Feliz Noche de Fin de A駉 y te deseo todo lo mejor para el Nuevo A駉 2022.
Un abrazo.
Luis

Hi Jorge
A good photo of this wild looking dust storm. The birds don't look too happy either.

Hello Jorge, We see that it is a storm because the trees are bent. Indeed, there is some red dust in the air visible. Weather disasters happen now more and more often.

Espero que voc� tenha um novo ano sensacional. Desejo que voc� tenha prosperidade e bom sa鷇e!

Hi Jorge,
Quite an interesting story well illustrated with the photo. Your notes make me realize how different the nature is in different locations. We wouldn't have a dust storm in Europe. Mot in most places I suppose.
Interesting contribution,
M

Hello Jorge,
This reminds me of a sandstorm I watched behind my hotel window in Al-Ain, UAE. In your case, the winds were more violent.
