I nearly missed a once in a lifetime experience.....seeing a bright orange glow coming through the shutters @ 5:45am, I just rolled over & thought it must be a good sunrise this morning and didn't even bother sticking my head up for a look.
On my second awakening at 6:45 (thanks to the kids) there it was again, that bright orange glow....well the kids were saying how 'foggy' it was, and after yesterdays humidity I though it was fog also.
Luckily we had the sense to grab the camera and take a photo looking out towards the beach...only 200 metres away, but can't even see the water.
The wind is still blowing, but even still, it's amazing that the dust has already started to settle a fine orange layer.
Subtle changes are also evident, just looking up at the sun....it's glowing a beautiful blue haze, and anything reflecting light is also giving off a blue haze...quite magnificient.
Driving to school was questions and answers session, they notice so many little things (p.s. must get on the internet to learn why it does this, so I can give the kids some of their answers this afternoon).
Quite amazing really how a dust storm can create so much excitement and give us a memory that will be hard to erase.
