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.

  3. 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.
