The Sydney Opera House was illuminated for the Vivid Sydney Festival, a festival of light, music and ideas which ran from 23 May to 9 June 2014. The animated artworks for this year’s Lighting of the Sails projection were created by 59 Productions.
These boats are currently moored in Cockle Bay at Darling Harbour, as part of the display for the Sydney Boat Show which is being held from the 1st to 5th August 2013.
This colourful sunset over Sydney Harbour was viewed from Mrs Macquaries Point, in The Domain. The sun sets behind the Sydney Opera House, near the southern end of the Sydney Harbour Bridge at this time of year.
These two are viewed from the walkway beside the Cahill Expressway, above Circular Quay railway station. The building on the left is 1 Bligh and the one on the right is The Winter Garden.

“Eight Women” is a contemporary sculpture created by Imants Tillers, in Cathy Freeman Park at Sydney Olympic Park. It celebrates the eight women who were involved in lighting the Sydney 2000 Olympic and Paralympic Games Cauldron. A ceremonial medley of seven of Australia’s greatest female Olympic athletes carried the Torch in the Opening Ceremony to light the Olympic Cauldron, as a tribute to a century of women’s participation in the Olympic Games. They were Betty Cuthbert, Raelene Boyle, Dawn Fraser, Shirley Strickland, Shane Gould, Debbie Flintoff-King, and Cathy Freeman. The eighth woman represented is Australian Paralympian, Louise Sauvage, who ignited the Paralympic Cauldron. Since the London 2012 Olympics are currently being held, I thought I would share this Sydney Olympic themed monument now.
