Dust Storm!!

Last Sunday morning we were walking along the shore of Lake Burley Griffin. It was a beautiful, calm, sunny day when we started out. After we had walked about a Kilometer from where we had parked the car, the wind started to get very strong. The lake changed from calm to a mess of choppy waves, some of them big enough to splash over the path. The sky got cloudy and the air started to get murky. By the time we got back to the car the air was full of dust and by the time we got home visibility was way down. The two bottom photos are taken from our balcony. They are almost exactly the same area. The one on the left was taken on Sunday during the dust storm, the one on the right on a clear day sometime earlier. As dust storms go, this was nothing compared to some of the ones that happen in outback Australia, but it is the first one I have seen and it taught me that Mums get cranky if you open a window to see it better (Mums and dusty furniture are an explosive mix).
