The Birdsville Track

Taken just a few minutes after my "Desert Water" image, this shows (at right) the Birdsville Track (famous in Australia as a remote desert road) and the (foreground) Diamantina River - usually dry but here spreading in flood. This rare event (only every 40-50 years) resulted from a massive rainfall event far away in northwest Queensland almost two months earlier.

Is it smoke from the fires of clouds that I see in these photos?

Hi Ron, these were taken almost a year ago. There was a lot of dust and haze in the atmosphere, plus a little murk/blur from the aircraft window. I've tried to digitally filter it out.
