Pitt Street Mall, Lunar Lanterns, Rooster and Rat
Lunar Lanterns have been installed around the city to celebrate the 20th anniversary of City of Sydney’s Chinese New Year Festival. In the Chinese zodiac, every year is symbolised by an animal and this year is the Year of the Monkey. These Rooster and Rat lanterns are located in the Pitt Street pedestrian mall. Roosters with their bright vibrant colours perfectly represent their independent and quick-witted nature. Rats are quick-witted, resourceful and ready to take advantage of every opportunity.
The size of these two really comes across well in these shots, Jim.
