Weekend Reflections - Looking at Light (9)

In 1816 Governor Macquarie commissioned Australia’s first lighthouse at South Head to guide the ships to his fledgling colony and the emerging trading town of Sydney.

He was so impressed with the lighthouse design by convict architect Francis Greenway that he granted his freedom. Greenway went on to build many impressive Sydney buildings with the Governor and became Government Architect.

Looking at Light (8) - Vivid - Lighting the Sails

Handheld because I got fed up with mucking about with the tripod in the rain, not too bad but not as sharp as they should be.

Vivid Sydney once again features the spectacular illumination of the Sydney Opera House sails.

In 2009 over 200,000 Sydneysiders and visitors enjoyed Brian Eno’s ‘Lighting the Sails’, and images of Eno’s sails were seen by more than 60 million people worldwide. This year Vivid LIVE co-curator Laurie Anderson will put her own mark on Utzon’s iconic sails.
