Most early mornings (when it’s still dark) Sydney’s Luna Park lights up so the workers can replace blown bulbs. Look to the left of the bridge at the tiny twin towers and their reflection on the inky water of the harbour.
It was still lit this morning as I caught another wonderful dawn.

The entrance of Luna Park on Coney Island in 1924. The amusement park opened in 1903. In 1944, the park was mostly destroyed by a fire before closing down in 1946 after a second fire. It reopened in 2010.

Come quando al luna park, tutto fiducioso sali su una giostra convinto che ti divertirai e pochi istanti dopo ti ritrovi piegato in un angolo a vomitare, la vita è così.

Luna Park razed by fire, Coney Island, August 13, 1944. The next day, the afternoon paper PM had this to say:
"Our photographer climbed up on one of the big slides to get this general view of Luna Park, Coney Island, half of which was razed by fire Saturday afternoon. Arrow points to 'Dragon's gorge' where the blaze started. Loss was estimated at $500,000. When this picture was taken yesterday afternoon, firemen still were spraying the stray sparks in the ruins."
The entrance towers to Luna Park are on the upper left, the Wonder Wheel beyond. The 150-foot Wheel began operation in 1920. The fire destroyed more than half of Luna Park. Although some of the rides were repaired, wartime rationing of building supplies prevented a complete reconstruction. Instead, visitors could view the ruins for ten cents. Luna Park closed completely in 1946.
