Evocative night view of the Rock of Gibraltar emerging from darkness illuminated by powerful spotlights. The 426-meter-high northern limestone face stands dramatically against the night sky while city and airport lights shine at its base. A car crosses the scene creating light trails on the wet asphalt. This image captures the mysterious and fascinating atmosphere of Gibraltar after sunset, when the Rock takes on an almost supernatural appearance dominating the Strait as a millennial sentinel.
