Earlier today there was a massive dust storm in Sydney that must have wrecked havoc on nasal passages. Cough. Cough. Wow, I'd have had trouble breathing.
Photographer "tomhide" shared some incredible photos of the Sydney Dust Storm on flickr. This shot of the entrance to Luna Park is my favorite. There is an eerie quality to have a creepy funhouse figure peering at you through the gloomy, hazy light.
Interestingly, it is tomorrow in Australia so these images are tagged with September 23 for the time taken, yet they're posted to flickr today ... September 22 in my time zone. I only bring this up because the other day on Twitter people started tweeting about Talk Like A Pirate Day, and Twitter was so kind to point out that the trending topic was one day early. But, it wasn't one day early for people in Australia! The folks monitoring trending topics at Twitter that day weren't grasping the fact that today in Australia is tomorrow for the US. Or, something like that. (That pesky International Date Line. Whose idea was it anyway?)
