It Was All A Bit Hazy

Bushfire Smoke Gets In Your Eyes

Mid-week, when the bushfire smoke hung over Melbourne like a grey shroud, I went up to a popular spot on Hallam North Road in Narre Warren, to see if I could get some shots of sunset. Instead, the smoke haze was so thick that the sun couldn't even be seen. The view just looked like a monochrome in shades of grey. I took a couple of shots frames looking down across the valley. I used my flash for this one, just so the council sign would stand out a bit. This area, incidentally, is adjacent to the range where the 2006 Commonwealth Games mountain bike event was held.
