Sydney Harbour New Years's Eve 2007/8
Opening New Year 2008 - The changing of the guard
New Year! A crazy time when most boot (or sigh away) the old year and welcome the new with smiling, open arms and a hopeful glint in the eye. A crazy time when even the most introverted feel they must celebrate the eve of new journeys.
2007/8 - New Year's Eve
- When Melbourne, Victoria, Australia floated through the hottest New Year's night on record.
- When Sydney Harbour sparkled with "The Time of Our Lives".
- When I joined neighbours on a moonlit walk to a secret lookout, high on a mountain, and watched the midnight blue and deep wine landscape of Port Philip Bay dance with exploding technicolour.
And a seering New Year's Day is a strange, endless numb moment. There is the gentle whirr of ceiling fans, a carless street and no birdsong.
A new keyboard
A new screen
A new channel
A new programme
A new doorway
A new window
A new earth
A new sky
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008!

LOL! And what's wrong with "Finding Nemo"? LOL! Thanks for the compliment!
I truly enjoy your Hubs. I hope you continue hubbing for a long long time. You may count on one devoted fan and I suspect you will be able to rely on many many fans as they discover you.
O what a compliment! Umm Just hope I can continue to live up to it! Thank you so much!
wow this has been the best set of lights ever.
Yes Rudra! The lightshow draws thousands of Sydneysiders and tourists. It is becoming an annual phenomenon. People crowd all round the shores of the Harbour to watch the lights!
I never saw any fireworks this year..Not even on TV beleive it or not so these pics were such a delight to see..:)
Comp - I just had to share these lights! There is a such a feeling of energy and joy in them! Invigorating, maybe even inspiring for the New Year!
Thanks for your comment!
A rich real estate lady built a megaMansion a mile away from us and had her OWN fireworks display, so we saw them. But your pictures are dazzling.
Thank you Patty!
Smiles and Light

Oh, this is just beautiful! I admit to knowing from the first picture that that was Sydney because of watching, ahem, "Finding Nemo". :)
