Parts of Sydney really looked different while we were there. A big arts festival called the Biennale was running and the area around Circular Quay and the Opera House was all lit up with coloured lights after dark. I found a great place to sit and watch the changing lights, on one of the bollards that are used to tie up big ocean liners when they are in port. This bollard was just across from the Opera House and I could see from the ferry wharves at the Quay right around to the Bridge. Buildings at the Quay had coloured lights shining on them and the colours changed every few minutes. The Opera House was really spectacular. The roof "sails" became a series of giant screens and beautiful images, changing every couple of minutes, were projected onto them. Mum took lots of pictures, so I will show you some more of them next time. I watched them until the Oldies were on the point of freezing solid (it was COLD in Sydney this time). If you are in Sydney while the light show is on, get down to Circular Quay after dark and enjoy.
