    Eastern Australia is being impacted by a large dust storm turning the skies over Sydney red. The storm is certainly not good for the lungs of Sydneysiders, but the images are undeniably stunning (and scary).

    Boston.com’s Big Picture has a collection of photos here.
    The Sydney Morning Herald has extensive coverage.

    And here are some more photos from Flickr:
