And the view from the breakfast table was:
Then on Sunday afternoon we had this eerie view across the Auckland sky from our back yard as the ash and smoke from the Australian bush fires (2200 km to the west) trapped in the jetstream covered northern New Zealand.
All the street lights came on and the smoke and ash filtered out most of the blue light, creating this sepia look. I can think of only three ways to describe this:
- Like someone had put yellow cellophane over the sky
- Like being in the middle of a solar eclipse
- Like viewing some of the scenes from the Steven Sonderbergh films “Erin Brockovich” or “Traffic”
But we are fortunate, it was just one afternoon and evening for us whereas those living in the affected areas in Australia are living in a nightmare.
