Photos from New Year's Eve 2010-11

I am belated in posting photos from our first New Year's Eve in Sydney, as I was a bit embarrassed by the volume of dark, blurry photos I downloaded off of the camera! Blurry was the theme of my photography during the evening, but here are a few photos from Pyrmont/Darling Harbour, where we watched the fireworks from the balcony of the Google office building.

Here's the link for the rest of our photos from the evening. We were on the back side of the Harbour Bridge, so not exactly the best spot for watching the light display and all the fireworks displays coming off the bridge, but I'm just grateful we didn't have to queue for hours to get a space at one of the viewing spots at Circular Quay.

Here's a cool time lapse video of the Harbour on NYE. It begins in the early evening, and shows the 9pm and midnight fireworks displays, then the stillness of the harbour the next morning.

Finally, here's the full 12-minute midnight fireworks display from the City of Sydney. Unfortunately there's no sound on the video. Or fortunately, depending on your opinion of the music chosen for the simulcast. ;)
