View from space showing the tropical blue waters of the Persian Gulf
View from space showing the tropical blue waters of the Persian Gulf and then the dust-filled skies as a major dust storm obscures the Gulf and its northern shoreline. Strong north winds often blow across the region in summer, churning up dust from the entire length of the deserts in the Tigris and Euphrates valleys (top left). Dust partly obscures hundreds of kilometers of light-green agricultural lands along these rivers in Iraq (left). A line of thunderstorms rises along the edge of the Zagros Mountains of Iran, and the setting sun casts long shadows from those thunderheads

EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the contrasting beauty of the Persian Gulf from space. The tropical blue waters of the Gulf sparkle under the sun's rays, creating a mesmerizing sight that is truly awe-inspiring. However, nature's unpredictable forces soon come into play as a massive dust storm engulfs the region, obscuring both the Gulf and its northern shoreline. As strong north winds sweep across this part of Asia in summer, they stir up vast amounts of dust from the expansive deserts in the Tigris and Euphrates valleys. This natural phenomenon partially veils hundreds of kilometers of lush green agricultural lands along these rivers in Iraq, adding an eerie touch to their vibrant hues. Meanwhile, on Iran's side, a line of thunderstorms begins to form along the edge of the majestic Zagros Mountains. The setting sun casts long shadows from these towering thunderheads, painting an ethereal picture against a backdrop dominated by clouds and mountains. This image showcases not only Earth's diverse topography but also highlights how weather patterns can dramatically transform landscapes within moments. From serene waters to turbulent storms and dusty horizons, it serves as a reminder that our planet is constantly evolving and brimming with natural wonders waiting to be explored.
