Sydney engulfed by huge dust storm

TarJak · 09-23-09, 07:59 AM

I awoke this morning just before dawn to a sight like this:

Driving to work was like driving through thick red fog. Visibility was down to only a few hundred metres. The airport got closed for a while and Sydney Harbour ferries were also halted. The sky didn't really start to clear until around 2 or 3pm this afternoon.

A very eerie looking day.

I blame it all on those evil corporations and their huge profits and wreckless disdain for the enviroment.

Just ask the UN

Oh you'd be suprised, I saw some of his work in Houston last year, with a variety of different colour filters.

It's always like that in Sydney when Jim has just eaten a curry!

LMAO

I tell you....it was so bad KL was forced to wear extra underwear and sleep with one eye open for fear of TarJak and his dreaded camera with the lens filters.

Jim's camerawork was so shaky I had to take over.
