Vivid in Sydney City

Yesterday I had to do some training on photography and before the class started at 8am, I took some shots around near Mrs. Macquaries chair opposite the Opera House at 7am. It is bitingly cold but I love these shots.

Later in the evening I took some pictures of the light display under what is classed as the Viv.d (Vivid) festival at present - for the Viv.d website details click here. Here are some pics.

Vivid Sydney, developed by Events NSW in partnership with the City Of Sydney, will be the biggest international music and light festival in the Southern Hemisphere. It will showcase the city as a major creative hub in the Asia-Pacific region, celebrating the diversity of Sydney's creative industries.

Vivid Sydney features four exciting new events:

- Luminous

- Smart Light Sydney

- Creative Sydney

- Fire Water

The Vivid Sydney festival in May and June creates irresistible stories through light and sound and brave new ideas; stories that inspire and entertain people, stories which combine to become a unique and powerful expression of 'Creative Sydney'.

Vivid Sydney is vested in creativity, dreams and aspirations.

This unique new public festival will transform the city into a spectacular living canvas of music and light in and around the Sydney Opera House, The Rocks, Circular Quay and the city centre.
