Dusty much?

Good grief! This is what I woke up to this morning (click to enlarge):




For those of you that don't know, Sydney and surrounds has been swallowed by a massive dust storm! This photo was taken at 6:30am this morning - right when the sun was coming up. I haven't photoshopped it at all - that is exactly how it looked! That is the view from my back deck - here's what the view out the front looked like:




Everything is covered in a blanket of dust - it's very windy and visibility is pretty shocking! It's not as red as that now, but still very orange and spooky!

What does it look like at your place?

I'm asthmatic, so I'm staying inside! I can feel my sinuses starting to get angry too! Damn allergies!

All in all a perfect day to stay in doors and do some stamping! :)

Wow that is incredible Sarah, I will send a snow storm in place for your sand storm, nah I would rather the snow.
Stay inside and create, what a great idea.

Looked like that at my place.
I had to wash my car windows before leaving for work.My white car was covered in orange dust!
Then when I got in the car, I noticed my navy colored work trousers where partly covered in orange dust and my black shoes were orange!
Just as well I left for work a little earlier than normal!

Looks like you guys had it worse than we did! It wasn't that red, I think it might have started clearing up earlier maybe?

Great photos, I wish I took some now LOL
