Story Behind the Photograph: Sahara Dust
Living on the coast of Belize I am normally surrounded by the most crisp, fresh air you can find anywhere in the tropics. The Northeast Tradewinds, which blow 80% of the year, caress 2000 miles of the Atlantic Ocean before encountering the tiny Caribbean Windward Islands, and then unimpeded, another 2000 miles across the clear, warm Caribbean Sea to Belize. From my front porch the air is often so clear I can discern individual trees on offshore islands 12 miles out to sea.
