Description
A long exposure early evening / night capture of the Monumental Steps of The Forecourt Sydney Opera House. The sky was turning a darkened blue and the starbursts around the lights were glowing. I captured this image around half an hour before the commencement of Vivid Sydney 2017.

Sydney Opera House’s Forecourt is one of the world's most spectacular outdoor performance spaces and offers the largest capacity of any Opera House venue. Set below the famous white sails and the granite Monumental Steps, the Forecourt offers patrons harbour and city views.
International icons such as Florence and the Machine, Björk, Oprah, The National, Crowded House, Sting and The Wiggles have all performed here to thousands of adoring fans.

The Sydney Opera House was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site on 28 June 2007. It is one of the 20th century's most distinctive buildings and one of the most famous performing arts centers in the world.
The Sydney Opera House is on Bennelong Point in Sydney Harbour, close to the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It sits at the north-eastern tip of the Sydney central business district (the CBD), surrounded on three sides by the harbour (Sydney Cove and Farm Cove) and inland by the Royal Botanic Gardens.
