Tony, I don't know if you were planning an IotD today or not, so I hope you don't mind.
Bush fires are currently burning in the Australian state of New South Wales. The fires are starting to enter Sydney's suburbs, and smoke is choking the sky. This pic is from AP. The Opera House and Harbor Bridge are in the lower right corner. The ABC (that's Australian Broadcasting Company) has a gallery showing some of the destruction on their
site.
