Vivid 2013

This is the last weekend in 2013 for Vivid Sydney, the city's annual festival of light. We joined the crowds, shoulder to shoulder, elbow to elbow, to view some of the displays. There must have been hundreds of thousands in the precinct tonight. A few snaps are below with some more to be posted over the next few days.

We are the last to disembark a ferry at Circular Quay arriving from Darling Harbour. Hundreds wait on the other side of the barriers for the signal to enter the wharf to make the reverse journey.

The authorities urge sightseers to travel to Circular Quay by public transport (bus, train or ferry) yet hundreds of cars continue to crawl north down Macquarie Street to the edge of the Opera House where all they can do is drive around the roundabout and return back in the southerly direction away from the precinct.

Customs House is brilliantly lit again this year. Here are several moments from that display;
