The sky an evil color

Mongolian tumbleweed
Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia

Walking home this evening from work the sky was the most incredible gray-brown color. The nearby mountains were completely obscured by the dust, and the Mongolian version of tumbleweed was racing down the streets and sidewalks at full speed.

Dust storm!

By the time I was within several blocks of our apartment I was being chased down the street by old pizza boxes and aluminum cans.

Yikes! Time to get inside!
