Description
When this phenomenum is seen on the water, it's called a Water Spout, but on land it's usually called a Dirt Devil, or Dust Devil. The wind picks up dirt and dust and swirls it around. Probably a mini toranado, LOL. It's seen all around the universe. On this little hot, rocky and sandy planetoid, it's a Sand Devil. Not much lives here, just a few miners who work deep underground mining the specialized stones found only here.
This is one of Bunny's landscape scripts, tweaked a bit here and there, finished in PHP with framing and initials. Nothing added to this one, just one flame.

I must admit I had never heard of this phenomenon but you've illustrated and rendered it so beautifully here, your fractal work is very impressive and atmospheric. Excellent, Rita!

Gorgeous.. Seems a most magical, if warm place.
I see no asteroid here. It is a pretty big planet that carries such an atmosphere. The depth of the horizon is dangerous. The image hot and scary. Well done. Very well done.
