Opera House at VIVID


Last night a friend invited me to a VIVD ideas talk on Digital distraction. I jumped at the chance and we went a little early to walk through the Botanic Gardens.








So not only did we exercise our minds and senses, we also briskly walked a few kilometres in the chilly night air.









Crowds were down, to the point that it really wasn't crowded at all. Locals seem down and foreign speaking tourists are up. Which makes for a nice music in the background, all the melodic languages enveloping you as you walk past.







All in all, it was a very satisfying evening, as we caught the train home discussing the ideas raised in the talk.








So I am loving VIVID again (you knew that would happen, I'm so easily charmed) and loving living in this very beautiful city.

  5. I love your pics of VIVID every year and I'm sure I first heard of it through you. I saw something about it the other day and it reminded me of you. It's such a lovely idea and kinda 'different' if you know what I mean!

  6. I am hoping I don't freeze but I am looking forward to seeing Vivid on Sunday night. I have booked the 60 min harbour cruise just to see it from the water and to save me walking!! Denyse
