Magical Journey Into the Light
與光的邂逅
Vivid 2014, Sydney's favourite annual festival of lights that brighten up Sydney nightlife.
一年一度的大型雪梨聲光藝術展開始了！在市區內，歌劇院，環形碼頭以及岩石區內都會有一系列的燈光展。前年的舉辦受到熱烈回響，所以今年又增加了許多燈光和互動光展藝術。

This year the light festival has expanded into the Sydney CBD, as well as the Circular Quay/Rocks area plus the Darling Harbour. We were excited to see sparkling, blinking light shows in Martin Place.
2. A new and an innovative light projection on Commercial Travellers' Association (CTA) Builidng in Martin Place. Watch the tree grow, blossom and decline with butterflies and birds fly around.
3. A face-recognition light installation is very interactive and fun for kids, where you stand at the projection end watch your face pop up in the light sculpture.
4. The best vivid light projections can be seen on the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia (MCA) building. Be awed in the explosion of colours.
5. Giant Bunny Light Sculpture by the Harbour Bridge. You will find 5 enormous inflated bunny (maybe wallaby or kangaroo) glowing brightly at Hickson Road Reserve.
特大充氣大白兔。
Take a photo and it will turn out like you cut out a silhouette of a bunny.
What's the point of a night out without good food?
You don't need to worry. Vivid Sydney has become more than just a light show, it's now offering the very best in food and dining.
After all the amazing light shows, I am sure you will be tired and hungry. This year, the food on offer are superbly delish. There are numerous pop up food stalls and food trucks hitting the streets and serving up some of the best street food in prime location. The hungry spectators will be pleased to see gourmet street food and not the old boring sausage sizzles.
Tonight, we focused on street truck and food stalls for an assortment of delicious cheap finger and gourmet food instead of the posh fine dining restaurants overlooking the iconic harbour views.
Our top food picks are:
1. American style pull pork from Eat Art Truck:
The crispy fries ($5) are indeed crispy. Fresh from the deep-fryers. They are the perfect comfort food in winter.
The aroma of pulled pork and potato is enough to entice a solidly-packed crowd gathered around this small food stall.
2. Mexican Tacos from Organic Street Food:
Organic Street Food - Nachos (mild) $10.00
Oops..... I might fell in love under the shimmering neon LED night, giant moon bunny and a tub of Messina's hypnotic sweets.
2014 Vivid Sydney is on every evening from 6:00pm until Monday 9 June 2014.

今年擴展至更多景點，讓大家能多享受這場藝術饗宴。隨處可見民眾，遊客把握機會攝影來捕捉這迷幻的景觀。
Must-see 2014 Light Feature Shows:
1. Top pick is definitely the hard-to-miss illuminated Sydney Opera House spectacular light shows!
首先，最引人注目的當然是雪梨歌劇院的動態光雕。原本白淨的歌劇院成了燈雕的最佳投影螢幕。

首先，最引人注目的當然是雪梨歌劇院的動態光雕。原本白淨的歌劇院成了燈雕的最佳投影螢幕。
利用投射燈光創作，在著名建築物外牆上展示出雪梨的燈光創意。這讓歌劇院華麗變裝，百變幻秀燈真讓人驚豔！
眼前的雪梨成為了巨大的畫布，充滿了熱鬧非凡和無邊際的幻想。
2. A new and an innovative light projection on Commercial Travellers' Association (CTA) Builidng in Martin Place. Watch the tree grow, blossom and decline with butterflies and birds fly around.
平日常見的雪梨的金融中心內的主要建築全都被打上不同的光影。今年的MLC建築物的原木動態燈光投影，光影變化的故事讓人目不睱給，偏偏生動。
此時，雪梨市已被創意與藝術靈感上了色彩，從此不再黑白。
3. A face-recognition light installation is very interactive and fun for kids, where you stand at the projection end watch your face pop up in the light sculpture.

Our top food picks are:
1. American style pull pork from Eat Art Truck:
It's hard to beat a warmly toasted, well-seasoned famous pull pork bun. Served with mustard cabbage and drizzled in sweet bourbon BBQ sauce ($12).
Famous Pulled Pork in a Bun $12.00
Famous Pulled Pork in a Bun $12.00
(w/ Mustard Cabbage & Bourbon BBQ Sauce)
The aroma of pulled pork and potato is enough to entice a solidly-packed crowd gathered around this small food stall.
2. Mexican Tacos from Organic Street Food:
Organic Street Food - Nachos (mild) $10.00
(Wagyu beef chili con carne, cheddar, house tomato sauce, chimichurri, sour cream)
Mexican street food hit the spot with Sydney-siders. Golden crunchy taco corn chips served with flavourful wagyu beef chili con carne, cheddar, house tomato sauce, chimichurri and a giant dollop of sour cream on top ($10). It is certainly moreish and a hearty comfort meal.
3. Psychedelic Psyndaes Gelato dessert from Messina:
You can NOT go pass Messina's first ever Vivid event. They are offering irresistible $10 dessert tub every night.
Tonight, we got the Kaleidoscope Bombe dessert tub, and it contained mango sorbet gelato, raspberry puree and crushed shortbread crunch. All topped with a large torched soft Italian meringue. A gorgeous dessert to be enjoyed under the light festival.
Now I am keen to try the other 3 flavours - Trifley Trippy, Psychedelic Spider and Silly Cone Chips.

在這光影稱托下的雪梨市，黑夜𥚃的星空都相形失色。
夜幕低垂後，在閃耀的燈光的陪襯下，整個雪梨市活躍了起來，允滿了繽紛活力。
大燈泡裡有32個不同時代的小燈泡。金光閃閃的。
2014 Vivid Sydney is on every evening from 6:00pm until Monday 9 June 2014.
這冬季的夜色格外絢麗。
