St Mary's Cathedral, The Lights of Christmas

The facade of St Mary's Cathedral featured "The Lights of Christmas", a light projection show which ran from 10 December 2015 until 25 December 2015. This view is across Cathedral Square in Cook and Philip Park, near College Street. The projections have become a tradition here over the past six years and this year included the theme "The Holly and the Ivy" from the traditional Christmas carol that is layered with meaning. This is my last look at the light projections for this year.

Barangaroo Reserve, Harbour Control Tower

The Sydney Ports Harbour Control Tower rises above Barangaroo Reserve, in the inner city suburb of Barangaroo. The tower was once used by the Sydney Harbour port facilities before they were moved to Port Botany. The former concrete industrial container terminal was transformed into a foreshore park, with a naturalistic rocky outcrop recreated and landscaped with native trees and shrubs. I posted a photo of the site before redevelopment last week, which can be seen here.
