Description

When this phenomenum is seen on the water, it's called a Water Spout, but on land it's usually called a Dirt Devil, or Dust Devil. The wind picks up dirt and dust and swirls it around. Probably a mini toranado, LOL. It's seen all around the universe. On this little hot, rocky and sandy planetoid, it's a Sand Devil. Not much lives here, just a few miners who work deep underground mining the specialized stones found only here. This is one of Bunny's landscape scripts, tweaked a bit here and there, finished in PHP with framing and initials. Nothing added to this one, just one flame. Thanks to all of you who took the time to stop and view and comment on the previous post, "The Hand". All the wonderful comments were so much fun to read!! You guys rock! Thanks to all who faved that one also. I did send out thank you notes, but I may have missed some. I hope not! I sure hope all of you in Gustav's path stay safe and dry, with no losses.

Oh Rita, this will clean the dust off those solar cells. Great POV and capture of weather on another world! Very pretty/scary!

Wow, this is fantastic! Reminds of the dust devils I have in my house, boy can they move when they have to get away from a dust mop, but then I don't use it that much and they seem to be happy to just hang about. Beautiful colors and design! :o) Hope your holiday weekend has been a good and safe one

looks like this dust devil is a dentist and is getting ready to pull more teeth. lol Crazy how the mind works... I wonder if anyone else sees what I see... No, I haven't seen a Dentist in a while... and yes Dr., I have had bad experiences there - oh the pain, the pain... lol

Rita, first of all this a great image with superb qualities, however I wonder if, perhaps, this dirt devil could, in some way, be responsible for the "crop circles"? At any rate, this is an excellent creation and it has fine quality!!!!!

This little devil looks to gathering force to cause trouble in this dry but beautiful landscape. Love the touch of blue water you added so that we wont get too dry.
