I was able to capture this long exposure of Australia's largest city from the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Enjoy the view of the illuminated opera house, the port of Sydney and the skyscrapers.
Opened in 1932, the Sydney Harbour Bridge was actually the world's widest long-span bridge until 2012. The bridge has lanes for trains, cars, bicycles, and pedestrians. It connects Sydney's CBD with the North Shore. For pedestrians, it is worth considering using one of the many ferries instead; you can see one departing from the piers in the photo.

Super nive! remember the days that I was staying in HI the Rocks, great view
Thanks! I read about the HI the rocks in your blog, seems like a great hostel! I stayed at a 20$ budget hostel, but it was also nice and I met some amazing people there, with one friend I am still in touch today!
The opera house looks like it's 3D. coolio!
I loved the lights they installed there! They even did some special light shows while I was there to support the Australian team at the summer Olympics!
