The Unicorn - a photo on Flickriver

The Unicorn

            This unusual cloud looks very much like a Unicorn, that mythical animal typically represented as a horse with a single straight horn projecting from its forehead.  

This scene is north of Wilpena pound in the Flinders Ranges of South Australia and was captured some 20 hours before a dust storm visited the area. The forecast was for a severe dust storm and the next day there were more unusual cloud formations which were swirling about as they constantly rose and fell - I had never seen anything like it before. 

As my daughter was flying into Port Augusta to join me for a few days,  I drove from Wilpena Pound and by the time I arrived at Port Augusta visibility was down to about four kilometres with very strong gusting wind. 

There were concerns her plane might have to return to Adelaide but fortunately it landed and within 30 minutes   visibility had decreased to two kilometres. It was an extremely unpleasant day - hot, windy and dusty. . . . . .Sigma 18 -200mm f3.5 -6.3 DC OS HSM
