Apocalypse Oz?
Posted by at 7:26 PM
When I woke up this morning for my morning workout I wasn't sure if I was just really tired or if the apocalypse was upon us, but the city of Sydney was blanketed in red dust. I stepped outside and the air tasted like chalk and it was eerily quiet; the sounds of the city muffled by the thick red cloud. It was like going to sleep in paradise and waking up on Mars...
Thankfully, it wasn't the apocalypse, it was only a massive dust storm - caused by thousands of tons of dust picked up from Australia's "red center during high winds the previous day. The dust was visible from space and made for a wild and woolly morning.
In retrospect, the fact that I was wondering if this was the last day on earth, should have been an indicator to forgo the morning's workout. Instead, curiosity got the best of me and I headed to Bronte to see what what the red world looked like from the beach. It was red.
Here is a photo I took in the storm.
