Grateful for A Vivid Experience

In recent weeks, Angus has developed a distinct fascination with The Harbour Bridge. I only have to drive in the direction of the city for the queries to start. Keen to know if we are going to go over it, or under it, or across it. Objects even remotely similar in shape or design are dubbed "The Harbour Bridge". Therefore, it was quite the adventure when we headed over to the harbour this evening, to meet up with Scott after work.

Except The Harbour Bridge wasn't the star of the show tonight. The Opera House being the landmark turning heads. A spectacular light display covering it's giant sails. Commencing at the family friendly time of 6pm, Vivid kicked off with a series of light sculptures scattered around the harbour. A fire dance set to music, with flames bursting into the sky. And of course, the majestic Opera House with a technicolour explosion of images splashed across it. A beautiful sight, with an audience of thousands, making their way around the harbour. Taking in all the vibrant colour. The artwork. The atmosphere.

So this week I'm grateful for my Vivid experience. Seeing Angus enthralled with his beloved Harbour Bridge, lit up in the cool night sky (even if it was not entirely the reason for our visit). A crisp and clear Winter's night, with a continual rainbow of light dancing playfully upon it. And of course, creating some extra special memories as a family. Joining in with Maxabella to share the light.

  3. Great pictures!!! What a proper little boy - perhaps he'll be some kind of engineer since he's so fascinated with the bridge!!!
