Floriade in Canberra is Australia's great celebration of spring. Highlighting more than a million flowers as a backdrop, Commonwealth Park in Canberra explodes into colourful bloom with fantastic entertainment, displays and a whole program celebrating a set theme each year. It entices many flower lovers across the country to visit the capital of Australia but don't expect to see Australian native flowers.

Vivid Sydney is a festival of light, music and ideas across the city. It’s the biggest festival of its kind that includes large-scale light installations and projections through to music performances, ideas and creative summits.

One of the main attraction is the Opera House as always which features the Lighting of the Sails a spectacular illumination of the Sydney Opera House sails that shines in different colour schemes every few minutes.

Despite the poor Sydney whether the past few weeks (rain, wind and chilly temperatures) that most likely will last the next few days, I managed to get some time to take night shots of the Sydney Opera House last Friday after my work of course.

Here are some of my photos.

I haven’t been to other venues like the St. Mary’s Cathedral, Macquarie Street, Museum of Contemporary Art and The Rocks. If the weather will improve, I will take night shots of these venues as well.

Finally, I was able to take few shots of St. Mary's Cathedral.

I will post all Vivid Sydney photos in my photo gallery soon. Enjoy!
