Not unusual but always fascinating, when winds conditions are favorable,the dust from the Sahara desert begins to fly over the Atlantic Ocean. In this case its journey starts in the direction of Canary Island, with multiple streams painting the sky over the islands.Tip : look at the internal waves of dust forming aroung the two closest islands.
