Anyone who's followed me for a year knows how much I LOVE Vivid. The opening weekend I was fully booked with trips to the Sydney Writers Festival and a gig by Sampha, both of which allowed me to see the offering of VIVID when our taxi couldn't make it to the Opera House, so we walked thought the city (and arriving early for dinner in Martin Place).
It's very hard not to love living in this city when the beauty and fun abounds, and is free for all to enjoy. I was loving life, just walking to my destination. What have you loved this week?
I leave you with Sampha - while not the official version, I loved the drumming at the start of the song. It delighted the audience and I'm still smiling at the memory of it.
Linking with #Fototunes (linking up an old post cos I'm missing my usual fun at VIVID and have been looking at old photos - not sure if you'll like this song or not...could go either way)
Hello from way up North, almost Canada. Your night time photos are great. I found your blog though Perth Daily photo.

Cheers for the tip!
DeleteHi Lydia, love your shots of Vivid. I was lucky enough to be there for last year's show, it was an amazing experience!
ReplyDeleteGreat night photos!
ReplyDelete...what a wild light show, thanks.
ReplyDeleteWow! I imagine it was so much better in person, but the photos are quite impressive!!
ReplyDeleteWow! Very beautiful. I went there two times.
ReplyDeleteGreat. I just took a photo of the SydneyLand sign yesterday.
ReplyDeleteThat's really a WOW! Teresa from NanaHood.com
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I can see why you like VIVID. All those lights are amazing!
ReplyDeleteThe lights beautifully highlight the lovely building designs and the scenic waterways.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing festival. This is right up my street definitely on my bucket list. Thank you for linking up to #PointShoot 📸
ReplyDeleteOh I do miss Sydney. It's such a beautiful city and your photos of Vivid show it off in all its glory :) #TeamLovinLife

Oh yes I would love to see this one year. Maybe in 2018! #TeamLovinLife
ReplyDeleteI accidentally ended up holidaying in Sydney one year during Vivid. It was a great accident :)
ReplyDeleteWe went on opening night! It was very cool, I've never been in the country at the same time as Vivid before so now that we live here I was definitely not going to miss out. We went early but it did get a bit crazy, so we're going back midweek to see more. What were your favourite pieces?
ReplyDeleteWe literally walked across the Cahill and down to the Opera House - was meant to go back last night but didn't. So far I've probably enjoyed Barangaroo the most, and Darling Harbour is quite good this year too. Off to Chatswood tonight.
DeleteOh we went to Chatswood last night! My favourite was at the train station. Anyway I won't spoil it. Enjoy!
DeleteAhhhh Vivid! This time last year I was there. It's fabulous to see! :-) #TeamLovinLife
ReplyDeleteI would have loved to have been at Vivid. We were in Sydney in February and enjoyed parts of the Chinese New Year festival. Happy travels. I am joining you today over on Communal Global.
ReplyDeleteAaaah Vivid. Having moved to Queensland I'll miss it this year - but lovely to see it in your photos. #TeamLovinLife
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to Vivid still thinking about going to visit! Maybe the zoo?
ReplyDeleteI got my first peek at Vivid on Tuesday night from the southern pylon of the Harbour Bridge. I plan to take another peek at the Darling Harbour end of things this Saturday night. #teamlovinlife
ReplyDeleteI love art festivals, but never heard about Vivid. Well, I haven't been to Australia either, so no wonder I don't know about it. I'd love to see it though. Thanks for joining me for #TheWeeklyPostcard
ReplyDeleteWow, it looks like an incredible experience.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting, we have light festival here to in December to January 1st to ring in the new year.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots, it looks great!!
ReplyDeleteThose are indeed vivid colors! I love all the purple. So fun, with all those lights!
ReplyDelete...I've seen a number of photos of Sydney's light shows, but I never have heard VIVID. A great name, thanks for sharing, take care.
