We were driving from Marfa, Texas up route 90 to catch Interstate 10 which would take us back to El Paso. All along the route on one side or another we would see Dust Devils! They were amazing to see! Some were way off in the distance, and then some were much closer. Since Stan was driving I could use both hands to hold my camera and to try and shoot these as we were driving along at 65 MPH. Aren't you glad I wasn't driving? :-). This was the best shot I could get. Some of these we could see were well over a hundred feet tall. They are like a tornado, but not as severe. Dust devils form as a swirling updraft under sunny conditions during fair weather, rarely coming close to the intensity of a tornado. It was really cool to see them all over the landscape!

Wow! Great photo of a dust devil and the landscape is amazing too. Trace
So cool and scary at the same time! Betsey
Great shot, but scary this happens on a day that the skies appear clear and calm. Reminds me of Kristin Hannah's Book The Four Winds.
