The horizon: bushfires around Melbourne
Last night I took some photos of the northeast horizon from Doncaster. The best photo is on the ABC website here. Others can be seen here. I could tie the photos in with Ben... or I could just say this blog post is off the topic! For those readers not in Melbourne, yesterday was 46.4 Celsius and we are experiencing some of the worst bushfires in history. Tragically, many people have died and hundreds have lost homes. (If you wish to use one of these photos please contact me first.)

HI Chris, this is indeed a famous photo- we have seen it in the newspapers and one of the TV stations used it as a backdrop one night for their weather report-did you see it? Thinking of you all much love to everyone, Jane & Sam
