27.Sep.2009 The State of Sydney – 23 Sep 2009
On Wednesday last week I woke up in the morning to find all the windows in my house glowing red. I mean blood red. Not sunrise red. Later I went out into the orange wilderness, dust and wind. The streets looked deserted and there weren’t many people around. I went to work anyway. Good old me. If it were the end of the world, what was I thinking spending my last day at work?!
Though it wasn’t an apocalypse like what many people may have thought upon waking up, it was a monumental weather event. It’s the worst attack of orange dust storm in Australia for the past 70 years, or possibly ever. I guess I was only half aware of it so I didn’t take as many pictures as I should have. But I can present you the two glorious photos I took with my iPhone on my way to work. Un-photoshopped.
