Purple Bridge

This is the Sydney Harbour Bridge during the Vivid Sydney Festival. Every winter the city lights up when the nights are long.

We are enjoying watching the goalfest which is Brazil 2014, even though it occasionally involves getting up at 5am to watch England lose again. Australia have looked impressive and face Spain next.

Opera Evening

The Sydney Opera House is a remarkably photogenic building, which is helped by its position on the water in the harbour. There is a clear view from almost every angle. If you walk over the Harbour Bridge you can even look down on it. This shot was taken from Mrs Macquarie’s Chair in the Royal Botanic Gardens

Luna Park

This is Luna Park in Sydney, Australia. The park was constructed at the base of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in 1935. The park closed in 1979 after a ghost train fire. After public pressure the park re-opened and was listed in the NSW State Heritage Register. Today it is still open and shimmers with much of its original 1930′s charm.

We have decided to leave Sydney on Thursday and begin the drive north towards Queensland. We have been made very welcome while we have been here and are looking forward to a meal out with our gracious hosts at The Oaks on Wednesday.

Vivid Sydney

Last night we explored the Vivid Sydney Festival which runs from 6pm to midnight from 24th May to 10th June. There are dozens of different light displays and a free ferry which can take you to the various spots around the city. The Sydney Harbour Bridge was lit up with 100,000 individually programmable LED lights which were controlled by members of the public via a touch screen in Luna Park. Since returning to Australia 3 weeks ago I have been so busy with freelance photography this is the first time I have been out shooting for fun.

I have entered this image to the Adventure Tours Photography Competition.

Sydney Sunset

This is a sunset behind the Opera House and Harbour Bridge in Sydney, Australia.

Bridge Walk

This is the view you get of the Sydney Harbour Bridge as a pedestrian commuter. You can pay over $200 to climb up to the top. Due to increasing insurance costs it is unlikely they would let me take 2.7kg of camera and lens with me while I climb.

Can this qualify as Mechanography if it has no moving mechanism?

Harbour Bridge

This is the Sydney Harbour Bridge which was opened in 1932 and has been nicknamed The Coathanger. We are in the final stages of packing in order to visit some friend and family in the UK. We plan to be back in Australia at some point next April. I have plenty of images to keep the blog going and plan to get some more up onto stock sites.
