Half an hour before Vivid Sydney 2017 (Photograph by Kaye Menner)
In June 2017, I went into the City of Sydney to view firsthand the spectacular VIVID SYDNEY, a festival of light, music and ideas.
The sky was darkening quickly with some dark wispy clouds. It was half an hour before the Vivid Sydney spectacular light show started, but the activity around the harbor was already vibrant. The spectator boats and ferries were passing leaving their pretty colored light trails. This image was captured not far from the Sydney Opera House which is only several hundred yards on the right from the bottom right corner of the image.

The Sydney Harbour Bridge is a steel through arch bridge across Sydney Harbour that carries rail, vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian traffic between the Sydney central business district (CBD) and the North Shore. The dramatic view of the bridge, the harbour, and the nearby Sydney Opera House is an iconic image of Sydney, New South Wales, and Australia. The bridge is nicknamed "The Coathanger" because of its arch-based design.
Under the directions of Dr J.J.C. Bradfield of the NSW Department of Public Works, the bridge was designed and built by British firm Dorman Long and Co Ltd of Middlesbrough and opened in 1932. The bridge's design was influenced by the Hell Gate Bridge in New York. It was the world's widest long-span bridge, at 48.8 meters (160 feet) wide, until construction of the new Port Mann Bridge in Vancouver. It is also the fifth longest spanning-arch bridge in the world, and it is the tallest steel arch bridge, measuring 134 metres (440 ft) from top to water level.
The southern (CBD) bridge end is located at Millers Point in The Rocks area, and the northern end at Milsons Point in the lower North Shore area. It carries six lanes of road traffic on its main roadway, while on its eastern side are two lanes of road traffic (formerly two tram tracks) and a footpath, and on its western side are two railway tracks and a bicycle path, making the western side 30.5 cm (12 in) broader than the eastern side.
The main roadway across the bridge is known as the Bradfield Highway and is about 2.4 kilometres (1.5 miles) long, making it one of the shortest highways in Australia.
