Miles and miles of dust, that is around 800 feet from the ground and thousands of feet above the sky. In a moment you see nothing but a big dust cloud - you can either lose the sense of being or keep watching magnificence of nature. So did Jason Ferguson, photographer from Arizona, who took some pictures of dust storm from news helicopter.
This dust storm is called haboobs, an Arabic word that means “blasting”. The storm occurs during seasonal changes called the monsoon season, when Arizona gets a half of annual rainfalls. On that time deserts’ dust lifts to the sky and looks like a big dust wall. But this seasonal change is just one of many reasons why Jason Ferguson loves his job.
But how photographer managed to take some shots, you would ask? The helicopter was moving more than 100 miles per hour, that is almost twice faster than the storm. That’s why Jason and the pilot successfully took a distance from the storm and landed safely with some magnificent snaps. However, take a look by yourself.
