Today there have been bushfires burning around Sydney. This afternoon a smoky haze descended over the whole city. Daughter #3 took these photos on her phone from her school and from our back yard.
Closer to the fires the sky was blood red, as shown in this photograph from the news. It was taken from a bridge in South Sydney:
It is times like this that the 'weekend cottage in the Blue Mountains' does not seem so romantic. I also add this photograph that daughter #2 took from the local library looking west:
Yes, God come to my assistance. O Lord, make haste to help.

I took a photo of the sky outside the library. It was the colour of a bruise!
