Hooray! This is my 1,000th post in this blog! I just have to acknowledge that because I never thought I’d keep up with this blog for a long time. Just a quick thank you to readers and people who pass by AWCL. I sometimes wonder why I still do this but knowing that there are people who read and learn from things I share is something that inspires me to continue and soldier on. So thank you. Thank you for spending a few minutes of your day browsing thru my articles, appreciating my photographs and joining me in my travel and food adventures.
Since this is my 1,000th post, I would like to share one of my favourite events, the Vivid Sydney.
Vivid Sydney is Sydney’s 3-week celebration of light, music and ideas. It is a way to promote art and encourage people to come out and enjoy the sights and sounds of Sydney during winter time. Every year, more and more people come to see Vivid Sydney. Even tourists visit the city just to see this.
Vivid Sydney has become a tradition for us. Since 2009, we’ve been coming to see this event so we can enjoy the city at night and revel in art. This year, we went twice. We had a bit of disappointment with the Lighting of the Sails (Sydney Opera House) because we found it a bit “un-vivid” and boring. However, the light projections on Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA), Customs House and Argyle Street Tunnel were stunning. There were over 50 interactive and immersive light art sculptures all around Circular Quay and The Rocks area which we enjoyed too.
