the dust storm

i woke up this morning just before 6. the first thing i noticed when i opened my eyes, was this strange coloured light coming from a gap between my blinds.

this is what i saw and it totally blew me away.

for those of you in sydney, you will know this pic has not had any photoshopping at all – and no, my camera was not set to sepia mode.

it was absolutely phenomenal. apparently it has happened because we had strong winds blowing in from the south-west. it hasn’t rained out there in months and all the ground-cover has died off – leaving behind this dust that blew into sydney.

with all that is going on infront of our very eyes, i find it incredibly hard to imagine how the minds of climate change skeptics work. wake up people – we are all in a lot of trouble!
