    I went to Sydney for a High School Reunion and I thought while I was in Sydney I couldn't miss out on seeing the Vivid Festival. I have often wanted to see this festival of lights but this is the first time that I was able to. We travelled by train into Circular Quay. I walked around the waterfront with many hundreds of people until I found a nice spot to myself along the edge of the water with a lovely view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. I set up my tripod and waited until the colours that I wan

    Title or Location: Bainbridge Island, WA
    I wasn't sure I would be getting a good shot of the moon that night with all of the clouds that were lingering along the horizon. It popped up for the perfect alignment with the needle at the top of the Space Needle. My favorite part is how the moonlight is shining on the water. This was taken about 8 miles from the Space Needle on Bainbridge Island.
