This is our second year to see Vivid Sydney. We had heard about it last year, but then we were a little disappointed when we actually saw it. This year it lived up to the hype. It was spectacular. Even though I included tons of photos, it was still hard to decide which photos made the final cut. The Sydney Opera House, Customs House, Museum of Contemporary Art, and other buildings had a constantly running program set to music. Then, there were various freestanding exhibits, some of which were interactive. The theme of the year was "Play". All the displays were very fun and playful.

| One of the freestanding exhibits; the tunnel lights were constantly changing colors. |
 |
| The Customs House. The exhibit was amazing; it was moving to the beat of the song that was playing. The Customs House also had different programs on different nights. For example, one night it had a Dr. Who theme. |

| The main attraction; the Sydney Opera House |
 |
| What genius! They turned the opera house into a record player. |
 |
| Following this photo, there was an entire sequence as if you were following a pinball through a machine. |

| This would be the bottom of the pinball machine |

| Sean took this photo right below where the lights were projecting onto the opera house. |

 |
| This is just one image of an entire show that played in Darling Harbour. They projected light onto water shooting up to make holographic looking images. |
The festival was a wondrous event. What made it even better was that we got to spend the night with good friends in a gorgeous city. Well done, Sydney. Well done.
