Dust Haze at Bowen, Queensland.
There are several hills in Bowen where one can take in the views, so this I did. On the day these photos were taken was a 'dust haze' blown to the east by the drought. Normally one would be able to see out to sea clearly. This 'dust haze' lasted several days.

Those dust storms are dreadful things. I hope Bowen and its surroundings is now green again.
ReplyDeleteThey are dreadful EC, we encountered many last year which is unusual for winter. I'm sure it's greener there now.
DeleteI hope for clear skies.
ReplyDeleteThanks John, it did last several days.
DeleteLas fotos, desde lo alto, nos ofrecen muy buenos panoramas y hermosos paisajes.
ReplyDeleteBesos
Even with the dust the view is rather nice, gives an idea.
DeleteIt is so flat!
ReplyDeleteLooking down it's rather flat, but a lot of Australia is like that.
DeleteThe dust storms must be difficult to deal with. I am sure that sand and grit gets into everything.
ReplyDeleteThey are as you can't see in a real bad one, plus dust/dirt just gets everywhere.
DeleteDust storms are awful
ReplyDeleteThey sure are Jo-Anne.
DeleteThat dust haze must be quite unpleasant.
ReplyDeleteIt was Catarina but not as bad as a dust storm.
DeleteThe dust haze makes for interesting photos, but hopefully there is some green there now and the dust has gone. Thanks for the photos.
ReplyDeletePuts another perspective on a photo does the dust - a bit like rain, sun and light.
DeleteMuy buena serie de imagenes, amiga
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteBetter a haze than a full blown dust storm! Looks a nice place when the skies clear.
ReplyDeleteThat's for sure Bill.
DeleteThe view is good much better without the dust though.
ReplyDeleteMinha querida Margaret.
ReplyDeleteAdorei a foto com névoa.
Muito expressiva do momento.

Desculpe o lapso.
ReplyDeleteAdorei a foto com a névoa.
:)
DeleteSuch a nice view!
ReplyDeleteRather nice but much better on a clearer day.
DeleteBeautiful view in spite of the dust haze.
ReplyDeleteRather nice Nancy.
DeleteIt seems no where in Australia is safe from drought dust.
ReplyDeleteGee, you are correct on that. Once there was a big dust storm that came here from SA and the dust ended up in our loo, on the walls, toilet, floor and where ever it could get.
DeleteAún con el polvo se ve muy bonita. Muchos besos Margaret.
ReplyDeleteDust storms are not good!
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
