State Library, Macquarie Night Lights

The State Library of New South Wales featured Christmas Projections on the Macquarie Street facade of the Mitchell Wing. This is my final look at this year's Macquarie Night Lights. A daytime view of the Mitchell Wing of the library, viewed from Shakespeare Place, can be seen here.

Very interesting...So they display colored lights and designs on buildings? Very festive

Looks as tho I certainly must visit Sydney to see this enlarged show after last year. Was surprised to see the changes at QVB, I loved using my camera there. There are not many Australian CDP blogs really, as far as a range of localities goes as from your list.

Yes Julia, there don't seem to be a lot of City Daily Photo blogs for Australia. A few of them start enthusiastically but then drop off after a while.

Wow you did a fantastic job of cataloging the light displays. I haven't been down there at night so missed that aspect of the festivities. It sure makes as difference.

I would very much enjoy seeing that in person!

Great series of shots of the lights! Painting with light is a fascinating art. And your 12 days of Christmas are indeed different from the normal "gifts".

Catalina Lemus Fett said...

A good proposal of colors. I liked it.

Be well.

Carver said...

What a wonderful library. I've enjoyed the Macquarie lights you've featured so much.

Julie said...

Good display, Jim. However, what is with the AB and the portrait of George V? I don't recalll that one at all.

Jenn Jilks said...

What a brilliant post! Thank you for visiting My Muskoka ! Be happy to send some snow! :-)

J Bar said...

Julie, it has something to do with the Mitchell Library celebrating its Centenary in 2010. George V as monarch of Australia in 1910 was just one of the images from that time. Not sure about the AB.

Pam said...

That's a beautiful display of vivid colors. Well done.

Tony said...

I can't believe all the color. Very nice photos. Happy New Year!

The one with the text: it looks like the text were stuck on! Amazing!

very colorful!

There seems to be no end to the ideas for light shows. The alphabet on the Library works well.
We have a CDP blog on Brisbane but it doesn't attract much interest through the CDP site.

Cheers for the New Year!

Julie, the letters projected on the Mitchell Library are part of an alphabet that was created to celebrate the Library's centenary

You can see more about it here:

Thanks for that Anonymous. There's some great information there on the centenary of the library.
