One of our favourite things to do in Sydney, Australia, is to walk along it’s beautiful harbour in the late afternoon to watch the sunset, before heading over to Circular Quay for dinner. On our last trip to Sydney, we explored The Rocks near the Harbour Bridge, and walked around Sydney Cove to the Opera House, where we had great views of the sunset. The golden glow of the sinking sun turned the clouds into a beautiful pink colour as they hovered over the city, and as the sun light dissapeared over the horizon, the city lights came on to light up the night sky.

Here are a few of my photos from this particular evening.
