Photographs copyright: DAVID McMAHONI was at work this morning when I got a call from a colleague who was just on his way in to the office. ``Do you have your camera with you?'' he asked. I sure did. He told me to come downstairs and get some shots because, as he put it, ``the light is really unusual.'' I raced down without bothering to get my coat and scarf and there I was in my shirtsleeves while everyone else was in overcoats and gloves.
It really was an eerie sky, but I thought nothing of it. I only spent about five minutes taking photographs in a light, mist-like drizzle. Then when I got back to my desk, we heard about the shooting in the city that left one person dead and two people in serious condition in intensive care. As I write this post, police have identified the gunman who carried out the cold-blooded shooting. For latest updates, go to Herald Sun.com.au.

So that's where Colman's Mustard comes from.
Oooooh - goosebumps. The sky is in mourning..
Sad thing, the news.
The picture is nice.
The yellow sky is a rare one. Ever see it when that yellow effect meets up with a blue sky? Usually late in the afternoon....you can almost make out a bit of green between them.
In a sad commentary on the current state of things, the bad news of Melbourne didn't faze me much, since it sounds like business as usual around Baltimore.
what a beautiful photo, very ominous..
The top photo looks like a painting. Beautiful!
Hi BTBear,
My thoughts, exactly!
Cheers

Hi Carol,
It was eerie, because the time of the picture was concurrent with the time of the shooting.

Hi Shashikiran,
Terrible news for a peaceful city - and the picture was an eerie coincidence.
Cheers

Hi Brian,
Must pay more attention to the late-afternoon effect. The yellow clouds were very strange, not something I see every day.
Cheers

Hi Karoline,
I think you're right. It was a very unusual colour range.
Cheers

Hi Stacy,
I'm glad you like the picture. When I've finished this novel, I'm going to get some of my prints framed and take 'em in to a couple of galleries. We'll just see what happens ...
Cheers

Hi Bart-Man,
