Night Landscapes and VIVID 2010

Running from 27 May to 21 June 2010, Vivid Sydney brings together large scale light installations and projections, music performances, and creative ideas. I did a couple of posts last year for Vivid Sydney 2009 here and here and it returns in 2010. It once again featuring the lighting of the Sydney Opera House sails but not a bright or interesting as last years designs in my opinion, but worth seeing just the same. This event sees art and colour projected on to the iconic sails, transforming them into interesting harbourside artwork. This year they have also lit Macquarie Street from St Mary’s Cathedral down to the Hyde Park Barracks, Parliament House, the State Library and the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. You can even follow this here on Twitter. You can walk from St Mary's towards circular quay past the Macquarie era buildings and the Royal Botanic Gardens to the Sydney Opera House.

Cold, Wet but Thankfully no Wind

Its a cold rainy overcast day in sydney but Hermione and I went for a long walk anyway. It turned out to be quite a pleasant morning with Hermione enjoying the adventure of playing in puddles and running in the leash free park to keep warm.
