Sydney Harbour Bridge, New Year's Eve

The Sydney Harbour Bridge at sunset on New Year's Eve, as the colours quickly drained away from the sky. The theme of the celebrations this year was 'Awaken the Spirit', which was projected on the pylons of the bridge in many languages.

    Nice pictures of the famous Sydney Harbour Bridge. They go very well with the other recent ones you've posted. I love bridges. One of these days I'll have to get back to the Royal Gorge Bridge for some photos, supposedly the world's highest suspension bridge at 1,053 feet above the river.

    Very monumental shots Jim! Your patience paid off. You made Joo get confused. She could not make up her mind which one she likes best: sky or the bridge. :) Good on you Mate!

    I've always found Sydney Harbour Bridge an interesting bridge and I can understand why people like to walk on top of it, though that's not my hobby! Have a great weekend.

    I find great that the theme of this year's celebrations was "awakening the spirit." It looks beautiful the sky. I was delighted.

    You have interesting pictures focused on architecture. I like it.
