Ah, summertime in the desert.
Cars double as ovens. Pools turn into luke-warm bathtubs. Air conditioning is essential, like water, food and the pursuit of happiness. Along with highs in the 116s (and lows in the 100s), we’re also blessed with the occasional haboob.
They usually pop out of nowhere in the late-afternoon in the late-summer months. And when they do, Valley photographers salivate. Yesterday – Saturday, August 11 – was one such occasion. I’d been meaning to try for a nice panoramic, wall-of-dust shot sometime this summer and jumped at the opportunity when this one presented itself.
