Default Sydney dust storms

It's not very often I get to walk up the street to get some interesting shots of an otherwise average arterial Sydney road before work. This morning Sydney awoke to dust storms an overnight front had blown in. The low light allowed for some long exposures of the early morning traffic like this one at 6 seconds.
