Sunset of Brighton Beach Melbourne for Sunday Best

 


A peculiar radiance spills from beneath the cloudbank, casting a quiet, otherworldly glow across the horizon, while an oil tanker rests in silhouette to the right, steady and immense against the fading light. At Brighton Beach in Melbourne, I find myself returning again and again to this same spectacle: a sunset that seems less an ending of the day than a slow unveiling of hidden fire, where sky and sea conspire to paint the evening in solemn gold and muted flame.

    So breathtaking! For some reason, it reminds me of the song words "Golden slumbers fill your eyes".
