So I went out this evening to see if it was really spectacular. It was different for sure, the sky had a hazy polluted look despite the excellent visibility suggesting that there should not be haze.

Anyway, the impressions, straight shots, no editing:

Andre,

Great shots, practical question, is any of the ash dropping on your country in any significant amounts, or anywhere else nearby that you are aware of ?
