Sahara falling on our heads

Here’s something that might be of interest to our cloud specialists. Otherwise a rather boring scene, taken from a window on a cloudy day while Sahara dust was blown northwards over Germany.

Edit: Just realised this is a play raw. Ignore my ramblings

Was in Beijing for the one below. We stupidly thought we’d walk the 20 minutes back to where we were staying one day and got sand blasted all the way.

Didn’t take many photos, strangely enough, though I think this was one of the better days

My attempt. I resisted the urge to brighten and clarify, because dust sounds dusty.

Since the only interesting thing in this photo is the sky, my version is very similar to the other extreme edits here. I had to struggle with the grainy texture that the dehaze tool creates when overdoing it.
