Last night we caught the ferry to Manly (to celebrate Gadgetgirl‘s birthday), and we thus had a front row seat for Laurie Anderson’s illuminated Opera House. It’s part of the Vivid Sydney Festival, and several other iconic Sydney buildings are being painted by light at night as well. The patterns on the Opera House rotate, and we were lucky enough to catch a few of them while we waited for the ferry to depart. It’s not every day you get to see the Sydney Opera House decked out in leopard print.
