Default My view of the Sydney dust storm

As you have probably already read elsewhere or seen on tv, we had a dust storm roll into Sydney this morning so I thought I would share my view of it as I crossed the city to make my daily bus connection.












I have a bunch more on my blog, too many to post here. Just click on any of the images above if you would like to see them.

Wow ...... great shots. I know it can be scarey when it happens. At least it's a pretty red :-P
The ones we get are just grey and brown.

This is the same comment I posted in another thread about your dust storms. I thought they applied to yours, also:

I just saw the story about this on our evening news. An incredible event for sure. I knew there would be some Aussies on the site with their own images. These are incredible. Hopefully, this is just an inconvenience for all of you, with no harm or damage. Being able to see a more personal view of this through your camera is just awesome. It puts us all a little closer to your part of the world. Thanks for sharing these and good thoughts for all of you.
