Vivid 2010

Linda and I decided at the last moment to go the “Vivid 2010 Sydney festival” a few weeks back. These are just a few of the images from a great night! Lots of walking and sitting on trains!! Didn’t get back on the Central coast till 1 AM.

Will be definitely be going back next time as there were some images that I would have liked to get but didn’t have the time.

The world’s spotlight shines on Sydney once again as Vivid Sydney unleashes its festival of light, music and ideas across the city.

Enjoyed by more than 200,000 locals and visitors last year, Vivid Sydney returns bigger and brighter in 2010, once again featuring the lighting of the Sydney Opera House sails.  This spectacular event sees art and colour projected on to Utzon’s iconic sails, transforming them into the world’s largest harbourside artwork.
