Taken from the south pylon of the harbour bridge. Photographed with a Canon 400D. Because of the angle & distance I have cropped this one from the original image. I love the blues so much I'm not sure why I didn't put this up last year. Vivid Sydney 2011 kicked off on May 27, 2011 with a fascinating & colourful display of moving lights over the sails of the Opera House. Art supplied by French collective Superbien, 2011's display was more dynamic & entertaining than the slowly changing displays from the past 2 years though a bit harder to photograph due to the mobile nature of the works. *Feature* Addicted Photographer, May 2012.

After years of visiting Sydney without having time on my to actually get the night photos I wanted, I finally got the chance. This shot captures the beauty of the Harbour Bridge at night...even if it doesn't quite show just how enormous the bridge is!

There were quite a few variations in colour with the bubble theme which I liked but I have decided (so far) to upload just two. This is the second.

The jacarandas do a good job of supporting the beautiful old architecture of the Town Hall in spring. Sydney, NSW, Australia. Canon 5D MkIII The construction of Sydney Town Hall commenced in 1869, and it was designed to be a symbol of the wealth and status of the city. The building was constructed in two stages, Stage I: 1868 - 1878 and Stage II: the Main Hall, 1885 - 1890. The Town Hall design was the result of a competition, won by J. H. Willson. The Second Empire style design (including four eastern pavilions, clock tower, vestibule, reception room and Council Chamber) was modified by the City Engineer to reduce the cost. Following Willson's death Stage I was completed by successive City Architects. The design and construction ...

After walking across the bridge the previous week from North Sydney & seeing how good the Opera House looked from there with the Vivid Festival lights, I decided to spend a bit of time & wait for some of my favourite colours. It was cold & the high wind was icy, but I was determined to make the trip worthwhile. I liked the lights behind the Opera House as well. Vivid Sydney 2011 ran till June 13 with a fascinating & colourful display of moving lights over the sails of the Opera House. This is the view from the stairs of the Harbour Bridge at The Rocks. I couldn't resist adding yet another of this great sight especially with these colours. With art supplied by French collective Superbien, this years display is more dynamic & ...

Norah Head Lighthouse, Norah Heads, NSW, Australlia

What to do when it's pouring rain? Go hiking in the rainforest, of course! At least, that's what I did last weekend when all the coastal locations I'd planned to take photos in were rained out. This waterfall, Minnamurra Falls, was about a 4.2km roundtrip walk along very easy boardwalks, and it was definitely worth the walk. The way it created patterns as it fell off the cliff made it one of the most beautiful waterfalls I've seen recently.
