Orange glow in the sky

It’s 6.39pm and I went outside to see what the bright glow was coming through my office window. There had been news reports earlier in the day not to panic, that burning off is happening in the hills to help protect areas around Melbourne from the bush fires but that Melbourne would be shrouded by smoke.

It’s really eery out there. I’ve taken some photos to give you an idea of the contrast of colour from the orange cloud and sun shining on the garden at a time when the sun is getting low.

    Great photos, Kathie. Stay safe. We are praying for your country.

  2. Hi Kathie—Lovely capture but scary when you realise where it’s coming from. Thanks for this, and the post that includes information for public donations, cheers mate.

  3. Your photos are amazing. I can understand why it felt eerie for you looking at that strange glow in the sky. My heart goes out to all my Aussie friends who have suffered so much from these horrible fires. I pray they get them under control very soon.
