Enter Sandman

So it's actually the ferry 'May Gibbs' entering the frame, on its first trek across the harbour, just after sunrise in Sydney.

 

BUT, with the mega band 'Metallica' currently in Sydney, and performing at the Accor (Olympic) Stadium, here is their brilliant and evocative song 'Enter Sandman':

The 'May Gibbs' was photographed from the Blues Point Reserve on a rare morning that I ventured out of bed at 4.30am and bolted down the M2 Motorway to reach Sydney Harbour just before dawn.

 

In the distance (under the bridge and beyond) you can see the silhouetted shape of Fort Denison.
