Today's video is stunning!  It is called The Mountain and is by TSO Photography on Vimeo.  The goal was to capture the Milky Way and the mountain known as El Teide.  You can see a Sahara sandstorm roll through at 00:32.  The creator says the following:
 
This was filmed between 4th and 11th April 2011. I had the pleasure of visiting El Teide.
Spain´s highest mountain @(3718m) is one of the best places in the world to photograph the stars and is also the location of Teide Observatories, considered to be one of the world´s best observatories.
