New domain and new home

This blog will no longer be added to. I've purchased the domain http://www.muchaboutmelbourne.com and have shifted it to my own server. Thanks for visiting here and I hope you come visit my new home.

Orange glow in the sky

It's 6.39pm and I went outside to see what the bright glow was coming through my office window. There had been news reports earlier in the day not to panic, that burning off is happening in the hills to help protect areas around Melbourne from the bush fires but that Melbourne would be shrouded by smoke.

It's really eery out there. I've taken some photos to give you an idea of the contrast of colour from the orange cloud and sun shining on the garden at a time when the sun is getting low.
