David, It would seem, even with a dust storm, the best colors are in the morning!

Nice second; apart from the color, it could have been a misty morning....

Thanks for the comments guys - the second is my favourite as well. It was surprisingly similar to fog/mist at that point.

Great shots, David.

The colour of the light on Wednesday morning really drove home to me how poor our eyes are at judging the colour of light. Or more correctly, how our brains make allowances for the colour of the light. I was up at 6am for a conference call and at that time it was really orange out there. After looking outside for a minute or two, the internal lights of the house looked so much more "white" than they usually do, simply because my brain had adjusted to the orange of the outside light. Sort of like my brain had adjusted the white balance.

Great shots of something I don't think we will ever see again. Well done.

I know what you mean - After taking the first shot (I was outside for a couple of minutes) I looked at my mobile phone and the screen was a totally different colour. It looked blue.

Then at the station, the lights looked much more white than they usually do.
