A harbour pilot boat makes its way sunset across Port Jackson. The harbour pilots are used to guide ships through the appropriate channels to their designated berths within a port. This view is from Millers Point, with Barangaroo in the foreground. Across the harbour are the suburbs of Balmain East, Birchgrove, Greenwich and Goat Island.
These artworks, located along Argyle Street at The Rocks and Millers Point, are part of the Vivid Sydney festival. “Web of Light” (top) created by Ruth McDermott and Ben Baxter hangs above two buildings at the entrance to Cambridge Street. It highlights the beauty and mystery of a spider’s web using around 1000 chandelier crystals to refract natural and artificial light to mimic water droplets on a web. “Eye See You” (bottom) created by German artist Zymryte Hoxhaj is located in front of the cliffs of Observatory Hill. Coloured lights reflect off more than 300 handmade, printed puppets who watch you with their giant eye.
