Macquarie Street, The Macquarie Arch

The Macquarie Arch (left) was installed at the end of Macquarie Street, as part of Macquarie Visions during the Vivid Sydney Festival. The illuminated arch symbolises the road over the Blue Mountains, which was one of Governor Lachlan Macquarie’s visions and a great achievement. St James Anglican Church, which is an example of the architectural work in the Macquarie period, can be seen here through the arch (right).

  4. You've done really well with your Vivid shots. Unfortunately it looks like they might leave that stupid arch there. As you can guess, I'm not a fan.

  5. I just lost my comment. Apologies if it posts twice.

    You've done really well with your Vivid coverage. Have enjoyed it. Unfortunately it looks like they might leave that stupid arch there. As you can see, I'm not a fan.

  6. Ann, I don't think it will be permanent. It might take them a while to dismantle all the lights and installations for the festival. It doesn't look that flash during the day but I did like the way it looked at night.

  7. Another great night shot. There's definitely a blue theme developing here.
