... or as Jeff put it, on the set of 'Thriller'. Following an incredible thunderstorm last night that followed a string of very humid (30+) days, we awoke to Sydney in the most peculiar red glow this morning. The typical view of the Harbour Bridge that is shown on the news each morning during the weather update was nothing close to normal this morning, but a full screen of orange and red. A dust storm had hit the city, and as the sun rose, this was what it was like on our walk to the train at 6am this morning. If you look really carefully you can almost see the bridge! It was absolutely incredible to see a city just covered in top soil, and with winds up to 100km/h it was quite difficult to breathe and keep our eyes open as we walked down the streets. Thankfully not very much of the dust made it into our apartment but many will spend the next few days cleaning the blanket of red dust that has settled all over the city. On a happier note, we are heading to Port Stephens for 5 days on Friday for a wonderfully relaxing mid-semester break! So we will update you when we get back!
Trusting all is well,
Leah & Jeff
oh wow, that looks really creepy
