The day the sun turned red

I just thought I’d share some photos of what the sky looked like yesterday. 

Everything had an almost sepia haze.  It felt like something was wrong with the world.  There have been some serious fires happening here and the smoke haze turned the sun red. 

 

I took these pictures at college yesterday afternoon. 

It looks like a sunset sky, but this was 4:30 in the afternoon.

Look at that bank of smoke!  It was starting to clear a bit by this time.

That little light grey dot in the sky is the sun, believe it or not.  It was red a little earlier until even more smoke blew over it. 

 

This is what the sun looked like:

I am praying for those affected by the bush fires, the emergency services, and praying it would be contained soon.
