Circular Quay, Lunar Lanterns, Sheep

Lunar Lanterns have been installed around Circular Quay to celebrate the Chinese New Year Festival. In the Chinese zodiac, every year is symbolised by an animal and this year is the Year of the Rooster. Many of the lanterns were seen around the city last year but some them have been changed this year. The Sheep lantern has been installed along the foreshore of Sydney Harbour at East Circular Quay. The Norwegian Star cruise ship can be seen  in the background at the Overseas Passenger Terminal, near the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It was originally designed by Raymond Leung, with current design by Alexandra Sommer and Brad Clark. The Zodiac symbol of the Sheep can be characterised as tasteful, warm and intuitive. The sensitive Sheep offers a quiet life of creativity and compassion.

  2. Looks nice! Do you know what material were used? Looks like the sheep is made out of paper but I am sure something more resistible was used. #WordlessWednesday

    1. It's fabric which has been hand painted and glittered to look like white bone china with blue patterns.

    1. It's the first time I've noticed the Norwegian Star in port. It's very colourful.
