Waking up and seeing the sky a burnt orange colour is a rather scary prospect.
Due to work being stupid busy this week, and needing to be in at the crack of dawn I didn’t take the time to grab my camera and take some shots, but thankfully plenty of others did. Some are below.

Lots more Sydney dust storm images can be found in this Flickr Gallery.
As my colleague Ian Rumsby put it on his post about the storm:
10,000 miles away, at the very moment Sydney was waking up, the world’s leaders were waving fond farewells in New York at the close of a relatively fruitless effort by the UN to get the climate change agenda back on track. It was difficult to miss the poignancy of the news from New York whilst eating cornflakes in the middle of an orange mist.
And to think there are still global warning deniers.
