23/09/2009 (Day 3.266) - Dust Storm

This is straight out of the camera. This morning we woke up to a dust-storm, which apparently blanketed most of the eastern part of New South Wales. It was incredibly eerie seeing everything bathed in orange light. As the sun rose the light became more normal, but there's a thin layer of dust coating everything at the moment, and you can taste it in the air.

This picture was taken from the driveway of our house.

Read more about the storm on the Flickr blog.

A year ago today I was a white van man.

'Forever Yellow Skies' for the October 2011 Monthly Scavenger Hunt. I stress again - this was straight from the camera.

And first place in the category ;)
