Night of lights

Vivid festival lighting up the old Customs House. Now the MCA.

Vivid cruise Sydney Harbour

A night cruise is a good way to see the VIvid festival.

Vivid festival Sydney

Another spectacular Vivid lighting festival, the crowds get bigger and bigger.

Vivid Festival 2014

Tonight the great lighting and music festival kicks off. Crowds of photographers descend on Sydney Cove.

Minature Sydney

Vivid festival down near Walsh Bay, camera on miniature toy effect. Did it work?

Night ferry on Sydney Harbour

On the free shuttle ferry on Vivid night, cool but great.

Dancing in the Dark

Outside the old AMP building at Circular Quay was this lightshow, there were some professional dancers sharing the space with some children having fun chasing the lights.

Food at the Sydney Opera House

At Vivid again, for dessert I tried a jaffle at this charming Kombi van parked in the forecourt. I had the Choc a doodle doo but was tempted by the David Jafflehoff.

Vivid Sydney 2013

Yep time to head down to Sydney Harbour for the festival that photographers love. It was a cool night but thankfully clear, no wind and a full moon. Love the mobile food vans and the free ferry shuttle around the harbour. Had a hot chocolate to start the night and then the light show began ...

Sydney Harbour Bridge by Night

Beautiful harbour lights by night, Luna Park on the far shore under the bridge, Jetcat coming in to the Quay.

Unicycle clown

Another one of the festivals performance artistes. I hope you do not have Coulrophobia. This clown did not have his face made up so maybe he does not come under this definition. He was friendly enough to talk to some Saturday night Sydneysiders.

Vivid Opera House 2

Another photo of the good ol' Opera House at the Vivid festival. I guess I am getting my money's worth out of these lights. It certainly drew the crowds on a cold winter night. Plenty of people out and about maybe before heading down to a World Cup site to watch Australia v Germany at 4.30am. Go the Socceroos!

Algernon and Snappers

There were quite a few photographers taking advantage of all the sights of the Vivid festival. Here is Algernon the subject of a post a few days ago talking to his many admirers. There was some serious camera gear on show.

Dancer Lights

At the Vivid festival again down along Circular Quay, one of the street performers was this black-suited dancer performing in the dark. It was quite effective with LED lights attached to her suit.
