Hyde Park Barracks Museum, Vivid Sydney, Macquarie Visions

Hyde Park Barracks Museum on Macquarie Street featured light projections as part of Macquarie Visions at this year's Vivid Sydney Festival. This year marks the 200th anniversary of Lachlan Macquarie’s tenure as Governor of New South Wales. Governor Lachlan Macquarie and his wife Elizabeth instilled a feeling of hope in the inhabitants of the new colony and along with it, the belief that an opportunity existed for a second chance at life. The theme of this display was 'Fair Go', featuring a fusion of historical photographs and modern images documenting themes of recognition, emancipation, achievement, humanity, hope, a helping hand and a vision for the future.

    Thanks again for visiting my blog. Your pictures are wonderful, always with splendid colors. About the World Cup, here in Brazil people are very confident. Let's expect the next game.

    I think your Vivid shots are the best I've seen this year. Certainly better than mine. Did you get to see the Lions march?

    Ann, I heard on the radio this morning that there was going to be a parade today but they didn't give a reason so I didn't go.

    G'day from Global Gossip in Darwin. I am so totally zonked but what a blast of a trip! Finish off tomorrow evening with a sunset cruise on the harbour here on an old lugger. Used up one 8 gig card and about 100 images into the second card. Maybe a total of 1600 images!! What a job awaits me over the next week!

    Back in regular touch after Thursday. Grand-baby still in pouch.

    A great post. I would like to learn how to arrange pics like that. I think with tables but all a bit too technical for my small brain.
