Completely by chance, my visit to Sydney coincided with the “Vivid Sydney” festival, which is basically a “festival of light” around the waterfront and other locations in and around central Sydney.<\/p>\n

One of the main events in this festival was the constantly changing display ‘across’ the Opera House roof, which this year was (apparently) based on the work of five Aboriginal artists. Unfortunately, only one of my night-time photography attempts worked out, but I still think it gives you a sense of a ‘moment’ in the ever-changing Opera House display, much of which was also vividly colourful at different times.<\/p>\n

In any case, no visit to central Sydney would be complete without a few snaps of the amazing and unique Sydney Opera House, so I have included those below as well. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I should add that the whole Vivid Sydney waterfront experience was amazing — I just wish I had had more time to see more of it.<\/p>\n

Anyway, now for those photos:<\/p>\n
