Dust Storm Sunset

Location: Prominent Hill Mining Construction Camp South Australia

Management instructed the formworkers off the job yesterday due to severe dust storms. As the storm got worse in the afternoon, dust blanketed the sunset, which made it possible to look directly at the sun.

When Simon said to come up to Camp Turner to do a little bridge formwork, he mentioned that they had all the comforts of home like, Gym, Internet, theater Room etc.

While the theater room was not what I imagined, Camp Turner was quite good. The gym was well equipped with modern equipment, I was able to connect their wireless Internet service to my laptop, delicious BBQ every Saturday night, and all the laundry washing was done for us.

When doing formwork construction on the Gold Coast, I stay at my favorite beach front apartment building so that I can enjoy the fresh sea air and excellent views of the beach :)

One of the highlights of doing formwork construction is seeing the sunrise every day. Just imagine, there are people who rarely ever get to see a sunrise. How lucky are you?
