The already gorgeous city of Sydney has been illuminated by the fantastic Vivid Light Festival.

In a combination of technology, culture, music and art the Vivid Light Festival has taken over the Australian metropolis, turning historical and culturally significant structures into canvases for some of the world’s most advanced light based illuminations and artwork we’ve seen. 150 artists from 23 countries have contributed to this massive lights festival, bringing to ‘light’ native Australian culture and edgy graffiti work.  Museums, botanical gardens, government buildings and even the  famous Sydney Opera House being being focused, no grand monument has been left in the dark with over 90 installations lighting up the Aussie city for the next three weeks!
