This one would not be out of place on my Scottish blog, however, it is a rare summer storm in Kabul - it was accompanied by thunder and lightning. A few minutes later there was a tremendous dust storm and everything just stopped for 10 minutes as visibility went down to a few feet!

@Lorraine: Hi Lorraine, the picture doesn't really do it justice - the surround sound and flashing lightning and oppressive charged air is left to the imagination!

@kerfendal: Many thanks for the comment! Weather like that is rare!I took it from a moving vehicle :-)
What an image, forbidding and threatening like as if the heavens are opening through the light. Hope you kept your camera wrapped.
