Sydney Dust Storm 2009 – This morning, Sydney, Australia was overtaken by it’s worst dust storm in years, overtaking the city’s monuments and sinking deep within its buildings and underground railroad. The dust produced an alien orange hue to the sky, reminiscent of the skies of Mars. The storm drove photographers into the streets to capture the once-in-a-lifetime event, when the largest city in Australia was overcome by a palpable dust that blotted out the sun.

Amateur and professional photographers alike have shared their vision with the internet since the phenomenon began, on flickr, twitter and otherwise.
