Melancholic Nostalgia

Or so it looked like on the 8th March.

While these photos fail to do it justice, imagine a world where you leave your house, and the sky is orange/brown, and the whole landscape looks that colour.

This came from the sand from Egypt that occasionally comes over for a visit, bringing these kinds of skies.

However, this particular day was also different in that it rained mud overnight, and the cars were spattered with brown rain, like everybody had been rally driving.

Regardless, it was a scary day, kind of creepy with a sense of foreboding, which the strikes of course showcased by simply happening again, preventing me from going to work once more due to lack of public transport.

The 9th March looked nicer though, and you could see these horrid cloud running away from us at speed.

The following was taken from a tram while in motion.

They say there’s going to be another strike next week, but we’ll see what happens.
