It's never what you think it is.

What would you think is was if it is the first thing you saw when you woke up on a lovely Monday morning?

A. You are in a dream
B. Fog
C. Clouds
D. Dust

Normally, the white would be a view of Amman's many neighborhoods and landmarks. 

If you guessed dust, which was my last guess, then you are right. The above are the order of thoughts that went through my head, and any of the other options would be better than dust, because they can't actually hurt/attack/get inside your body/apartment. 

The latest updates on me include: a hiking trip (post to follow) which left me with a broken ankle on Friday, a blackout in all of the area I live in on Sunday, and a dust storm lasting for about three days now. 

Normally, the black bottom part of the photo would have just as many lights as you see in the background.
