It was crazy windy overnight here, and still is blowing a gale but that is just insane!

From looking at it, it wasn't so bad down here yesterday.

Maybe the dust is forming with the smog to make some sort of super dust?

stay safe, don't go outside without a mask.

Washed my car on the weekend. Paranoid driving it this morning worried about drinking in dust. And now getting a headache.

Still...it's something pretty different

Red Dust

As I write this, there's an insane dust storm that's sweeping over Sydney. I found out about it by seeing a Twitter post from Dan Hill. I'm based in San Francisco but found it so extraordinary I decided to go and see if I could spot pictures coming in and make a little gallery out of them. If you're coming here on the 23rd of September, you might want to see if any other new photos are coming in: on the Flickr Sydney tag page. Don't forget to organise by date! Oh and there's a group called the Red Sydney Project you should check out too. If you liked this stuff, you might also like my photos and my Twitter feed. You can also buy a copy of a magazine featuring many of these photos at strangelightmag.com

Some great shots there for those of you not experiencing this (I hear it's headed Brisbane way now)...

Now it's crazy on the coast! I can't see myself driving in this mess. It's probably bad to breathe in isn't it?
