Description


In the Eye of the Storm by J5
VC08

           We are in the eye of the sandstorm (VC1-VC3). The wind howls as it skims over the surface of the Tell, moving dust at great velocity. Several workmen have difficulty standing up and lay down on the ground!
           The abrasive force of the wind is well-documented here, and its impact on opposing vertical surfaces (walls and sections) can easily be gauged. We wonder at the force, but encounter daily its palpable impact on surfaces that we excavate.

The term "video" is used here instead of "film", as these sequences are raw unedited footage (as the term is taken customarily to mean).
