I found this old image hidden deep within my archives when I was organizing my photo collections. It was taken just before the Sydney fleet review 2013 fireworks display took place (see the photo named 'Sydney Celebrations'). I was shooting through a fenced barrier which lined the whole waterfront. I remembered being very annoyed about that as it severely restricted the composition of the image. That's probably why I didnt post this image then because I wasn't entirely happy with the balance of the scene.

Irregardless, I have to say that was the best sunset I photographed in Sydney thus far. In terms of the vibrancy in the colors and the festivity surrounding the event. Living further away from the CBD now and other commitments, I seldom wander down to the beautiful harbour.
