Chilean Dust Cloud

hi not sure where to put this, today as you know a dense section of the volcanic dust cloud was making its second record pass round globe, and dense leading funnel end was directly over Adelaide most of day - missed the best opportunity to get a pic this morning, it was surreal looking sky between clouds, a golden sunset type look/haze in vicinity of sun for some distance - at first i thought maybe it could be smoke from stubble burnoffs the farmers do this time of year, but after last nights soaking rain, there was no way it was smoke from fires, the rest of the sky was unbelievably clear from front passing thru last night - (i have included pic away from sun to show otherwise clear blue sky) the sun was illuminating the cloud as it moved thru sky - no processing done to any of pics.. amazing! never seen that before!
FOV - 350d @28 mm
