My Melbourne friend Richard (one of the several Richards I know there) sends this photo of Melbourne’s smoke-filled sky today as residents face the massive bushfires.

He writes:
So far around 400,000 hectares have been burned.
Although the fires are burning in an area between 150 and 200km north-east of the city, they’re casting a smoky haze over Melbourne. You can smell it, even indoors, and despite the pollution in the CBD.
It’s like God’s fired up his pot-belly stove.
The Age is collecting further smog photos too.

Melbourne is not alone. Bushfires are burning across Australia. This map puts things into perspective.

For some reason I’m reminded of these words from 1993:
‘…and so we hold each other tightly, and hold on for tomorrow….’
