Sydney Harbour Bridge

 
Harbour Bridge is one of the most recognizable structures in Sydney. It can be said that the bridge is one of  the international symbols of Australia.  Tourists flock to Circular Quay, The Rocks, Milson's Point to have a vantage view of the bridge.

One can stroll along the Rocks to get a close up view of the bridge. Walking farther and nearer to one of its Pylons, you can be under the bridge and can see the steel and bolts and rivets supporting the structure.

Sydney tourism offers a bridge climb for a fee. Once on top of the bridge, one can see a fantastic view of the harbour and the Opera House.

 

You can take a ferry to see a different view of the bridge.

Be it from land or from the water, Sydney Harbour bridge is beautiful and a photographer's delight.

How to get there: Take the train to Circular Quay. From the platform , you can already see the bridge. Or walk to the Botanical Garden until you reach Opera House. From Opera House , you can also see the bridge in full view.

Vivid Sydney 2016

We have been fortunate to arrive in Sydney on the last day of Vivid Sydney 2016. It is an annual event where Sydney Harbour and its surroundings are lighted up with awesome lighting structures. The Opera House sails are lighted up with spectacular illumination art. The art works flashing on the sails of the Opera House were fantastic and I just wondered how they did it.

 

 












 


The Harbour Bridge was also lighted with different changing hues.
 

The Town Hall was also colorful.

 
 Droves of people came to these areas and we could hardly move. The flow of the people was organized. Though it was cold, the festive event made the atmosphere warm. I am elated that I got to witness this event.
