Sydney Dust Storm

See it on slideshow’

Never seen anything like this before.

There were a few photographers out there and some of the locals still taking their morning walks along the harbour in this condition. When I got back, I noticed all my clothing and gears were covered in the orange/red dust. No surprise to see more dust when I blew my nose. lol

Edit: Thanks everyone for stopping by! There’s over 1000 views on this shot alone in two hours or less since posting. I’ll try to get back to all your comments when I get the chance. Cheers.

Another Edit: Ummm… since posting the Dust Storm images this morning, I’ve had over 50,000 visits, 1300 faves and 350 comments and still clocking. I’ve replied to “some” of the comments but I’m loosing track to be honest. Anyways, many thanks for your visit, faves and comments! They are much appreciated. I hope you can enjoy the photos. It was an amazing day and I’m glad I’ve photographed this rare occurrence to remember this day well into the future.
