Holy Bushfire

As summer quickly approaches, the dry air combined with the extreme heat results in many bushfires around the Sydney area.  If you recall, I wrote about a bushfire in Palm Beach preventing me from walking the trails a few weeks ago - well now that it is getting even hotter, the fires are becoming more frequent and more of a vicious hazard.  Last week, the temperature rose to over 33 degrees Celsius (around 100 degrees Fahrenheit for those who never learned the simple estimation converter for C to F), which resulted in the first intense bushfire frenzy of the summer.  I’m not sure if it was covered in international news in America, but per usual, trustworthy Buzzfeed was on top of their current events.

It’s hard to write a witty post about such a tragic situation – but I can’t lie, the skies were wicked and extremely hard not to look at in amazement.  For example, if you threw a filter on the typically mediocre sky picture... BOOM! Instagram masterpiece.

They say that this has been the worst bushfire crisis in over a decade, which makes everyone nervous because it is only the beginning of bushfire season...
