Our lack of internet explains my lack of posts on this blog, incidentally. Anyway, while I've had some time offline, I managed to find some really cool photos I took of a sunset just as a typhoon was rolling in to our city. It makes for some spectacular colours and an apocalyptic appearance. Note that I haven't tweaked the colours at all. This is what it actually looked like.
