[...] The Sydney dust storm was memorable for anyone in the city that morning and especially those, like me, who woke up at dawn to find they had relocated to Mars overnight. I took a heap of shots to commemorate this special event (and put the 5D Mk II’s dust proof claims to the test!) but this one is my favourite. It was taken in the CBD as I made my way to work. The dust was starting to clear but there was still an eerie silence as the city’s commuters tried as best they could to go about their daily routine as if everything was normal, despite this golden mist cloaking them!

Thanks Daniel! In those early hours Bondi did look like a ghost town wrapped up in a thick orange fog!

Great to see you’re dedicated to the cause Milton. I’m kicking myself for missing it.
My favorite is the first shot of the intersection, so eerily calm with just one shops lights on, which is my favorite bit. Well done mate!
