Moods of the Mountain #118

We are living in strange times*, but this post-apocalyptic sunset is due to a number of small fuel-reduction burns that have been taking place while the weather has been cool and calm.

I loved the smoky cloud formations so much that I had to take a close-up …

And then I noticed the newly emerging sliver of the 3-day-old new moon.

* The COVID-19 pandemic is in its early stages in Australia and drastic measures are being put into place to attempt to combat it. And one of the actions is that kunanyi/Mt Wellington is now closed, which means that I have to make the most of the long-distance views.
