Otherworldly dust

Sun setting into airborne dust from the crazy winds two days ago. It's setting over the Turkey Mountains and the rolling foothills of the southern Sangre de Cristo mountains. You can actually see a few sunspots if you enlarge the image. I took the photo after stepping out the back door of my place in New Mexico. I got pretty blasted by the wind during the few minutes I was out there.

 

Taken from Harding County, New Mexico, USA looking west, but pretty much everything in the photo is actually in Mora County, NM...save for the sun. The sun is in space.
