Vivid Sydney is a fabulous little festival. The night the boys visited the weather was lovely. Their tour began at the top of Martin Place. Sadly, the skills of the photographer did not match the weather.
The boys were only slightly interested in the first exhibit.
The lighting of the MLC Centre was superb.
Photos simply can't do justice to the multitude of movement.
The boys spent minutes standing and watching.
The video below was taken by someone else on the same night the boys were there. It shows how much was going on with the foliage moving, birds flying and other animals crawling up and down the tree trunk. It was very entertaining.
The next exhibit was lots of fun, too.
Once again a lack of photographic skill is evident. Little butterflies flicked across the tiny screens. The boys, and many other people, had heaps of fun tapping the screens in an attempt to 'catch' them. Graham dissolved into fits of giggling while playing.
This little waterfall had rows of people taking videos.
It's really quite clever.
Some of the installations were less entertaining but still worth a look.
While others were genuinely artistic.
Then the boys walked from Martin Place to Circular Quay.
They danced.
The display on the museum was excellent.
Then the boys played on these circles that responded to pressure.
Graham stayed in there for 15mins until he was asked to leave. It wasn't too crowded but there was crowd control at the entrance.
Customs House looked great, too.
This display was one of many in between Circular Quay and the Opera House.
The photos don't do the displays justice. There were many people with very professional-looking camera equipment taking photos and videos. Youtube should be full of stuff.
The boys had fun but it was quite a lot of walking, especially for Graham. He was carried on Dad's shoulders all the way back to the car for the drive home.
A really nice video of the Opera House show can be found
