The Sydney Harbour Bridge is shrouded with thick early morning fog, 06 April 2004. The fog which was not forecast, caused a number of international flights into Sydney to be diverted to other airports and severely disrupted traffic and ferry services as visibility was reduced to 200 metres.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Greg Wood, we witness the Sydney Harbour Bridge engulfed in a thick blanket of early morning fog. The unexpected fog, which was not predicted by weather forecasts, caused chaos and disruption throughout the city on 06 April 2004. As visibility plummeted to a mere 200 meters, international flights bound for Sydney were diverted to alternative airports while traffic and ferry services ground to a halt. The image showcases the sheer power of nature as it shrouds one of Australia's most iconic landmarks in an ethereal veil. The bridge itself stands tall and proud amidst the misty backdrop, its architectural grandeur contrasting with the mysterious atmosphere created by the fog. This photograph serves as a reminder that even in urban landscapes like Sydney, nature can still command attention and disrupt our daily routines. Wood's expert composition captures both the magnitude of this natural phenomenon and its impact on everyday life. The horizontal perspective allows us to appreciate how far-reaching this foggy haze extends across the cityscape and out into the vast ocean beyond. It is an illustration of how something as seemingly insignificant as weather conditions can have profound effects on our modern world. This AFP print transports viewers into a moment frozen in time when Sydney grappled with unforeseen challenges brought about by Mother Nature herself – reminding us that even amidst chaos, there is beauty to be found if we take a moment to look closely enough.
