Today Yazd, biggest desert city in the world and known for its many wind-towers, got lost in a heavy sandstorm. Desert-storms are quit usual here, however, this year there is real April weather all over Iran and so when we went up the roof of a coffee shop to take a snapshot of the wind-towers, we got really surprised by the huge wave of sand heading in our direction.

Afterwards it got quiet until people began to enter the streets and clean up their houses.
