#RainStorm, #GobiDesert, #Mongolia

I was surprised to find that the Gobi Desert isn't just sand dunes and camels. Upon arrival here it rained buckets for a few days before clearing. The vastness creates a feeling of soul-searching isolation and calm.

#Sunset at #FlamingCliffs, #Mongolia

There's a spot in the #GobiDesert where sunset briefly casts light on the face of these cliffs. On the day of my visit it was cloudy and it appeared that I was out of luck. But as there was a fleeting moment where the sun broke through. I have tweeked the brightness-contrast to make the shot more attractive to me.

"Sandstorms whipped up from the #GobiDesert have spread from northern China to Thailand and South Korea and as far east as #Japan, causing a reduction in visibility and an increase in #RespiratoryIllness. There have been four sandstorms in the space of a month in China this year"

Chinese meteorological authorities issued a yellow warning for sandstorms and strong wind weather. A young man is walking along the dust shrouded streets at night. The streetlamps glow a bright yellow in the thick haze.
