Sydney - Vivid Sydney

Heading to Sydney for Vivid was a really last minute plan for me as I hadn't even realised it was on until the weekend before I went and was in two minds about whether to go or not because of funds. In the end (aka the next day) my need for adventure won and an early flight as booked giving me almost 2 full days in Sydney.


I planned on packing light, after all how much stuff do you really need to take for 48 hours of photography and exploring, and left with a list of things I wanted to make sure I saw while I was there. Vivid was fantastic. The buzz in the city as incredible as people ventured from place to place, photographing, exploring, touching, listening to all the different displays that fed as many senses at they possibly could.

Lights were bright and colourful, by all ways and means embodying the 'Vivid' title the festival suggests displays changed colour or sound frequently but on a loop so it was familiar yet new all the time the Opera House danced with animation and pattern which I consider myself fortunate enough to have seen. I didn't find the laser fountain light show on Darling Harbour very good which as disappointing but with so much else on it was hardly a let down.

My picks would be to see the Opera House and explore The Rocks. Interact with as many displays as you can and let your inner child free! This even is only on until Monday 8th June but will be back again this time next year so enjoy my pics and leave me a comment below.
