Dancing In The Dark

The final burst of sunset across Sydney Harbour.

And here is Bruce Springsteen with his uplifting song from the 1980s: 'Dancing In The Dark':

And, on this occasion, I was nearly dancing in the dark as I came within two minutes of being locked in the Sydney Harbour National Park. I did not realise that the gates closed at 9.00pm. I had been down on Athol Beach getting sunset pictures of the city when I suddenly realised that there was no one else around, and the Bradleys Head Car Park was empty except for my car. So I managed a land speed record up the precarious headland roadway to get to the gateway as the zealous car-park attendant was in the process of closing the gate.
