Bushfire sunset

the fires just get worse every day. Its been 40C today and now the wind is up and we're expecting dry lightening storms.
This was the colour of the sun as it set last night, truly spectacular if terrifying.

You’re right : spectacular and terrifying it is !

Got to fav this because it is scaringly beautiful. The sun has looked like this here for the last few days too and in the early evening the glow in the sky looks like the end of the world.

[Denise Wood]

Very terrifying but stunning.

[Lou Ann]

I’m so sorry.

Lightning storms as well? Wow. My cousin (lives in Sydney) was chatting to me today on text and it all sounds so hot, smoky and scary. Spectacular shot. Just sorry for the reason

[Graham Harcombe]

Very telling indeed. I am following the news where NSW and now SA are featuring large here in England.

My heart goes out to everyone in the fire affected areas. These bushfires are truly devistating. Keep safe :)

Great capture but such frightening times on the east coast.

[Diana]

Nothing more to add to all the above, so frightening!

[Issi Bannerman]

Wow. Terrifying, as you say.

[Martin Jalkotzy]

We are hearing of Australia's plight every day on the news. I really is scary; Mother Nature at her worst, as the saying goes.

[Carole Sandford]

Stunning but must be very scary!

[Sylvia du Toit]

It is so sad.

[Rob Z]

Your photo says it all - beautiful to see - horrible to see!

[Clare Gadsby]

crumbs. it's so worrying. we are in sydney for christmas and seeing quite a bit of smoke - sitting in our son's garden you're aware of specks of ash falling on your clothes

[Kathy]

I'm very sorry to hear this about the fires. Wonderful photo, though.

A spectacular vision of a wrenching situation. I do wish you and yours a happy holiday, however... hoping the best for our friends down under. :)
