EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo, taken by Greg Wood from Agence France-Presse (AFP), we are transported back to September 23,2009, when Sydney was engulfed in an otherworldly haze. The iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge stands tall and proud but is eerily shrouded in a thick blanket of dust. The cityscape takes on an orange hue as the strong winds carry desert dust across the urban landscape. This sandstorm-like phenomenon not only created a mesmerizing visual spectacle but also wreaked havoc on daily life. Commuters found themselves snarled in traffic jams while air transport faced disruptions due to reduced visibility. In response to this unusual weather event, authorities issued warnings for children and the elderly to stay indoors, emphasizing their vulnerability amidst these unfavorable conditions. Wood's vertical composition allows us to fully appreciate the magnitude of this natural occurrence. The contrast between the manmade structures and nature's powerful forces creates a sense of awe and humility within us. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can't help but marvel at how our world can be transformed so dramatically by unpredictable elements. Without mentioning any commercial use or affiliations with companies, let us simply acknowledge Greg Wood's skillful capture that immortalizes this extraordinary moment in time – a reminder of nature's ability to surprise and humble even the most bustling cities like Sydney.
