The Electric Light Orchestra

Sydney - photographed from the Cahill Walkway on the Sydney Harbour Bridge, about 50 metres from the south-eastern pylon.

 

Saturday night, 24th May, 2024.

 

So I parked the car along Lavender Street at Lavender Bay (aka Milsons Point) and wandered down to Kirribilli to acquire a Flat White Coffee along with a Raspberry & Panna Cotta Tart, which I drank & ate walking across the Sydney Harbour Bridge, in order to grapple for a position on the walkway up above 'The Rocks' and Campbells Cove.

 

I managed to fight off a Ninja-like battalion of photographers from Japan, as well as other warrior-style photographers from Cardiff, Madrid and Boston - all armed with tripods. Needless to say I still don't have a tripod but this ironically assisted me to gain my position for the fireworks. Hence this picture and other similar (though different) shots previously uploaded to Flickr.

 

And here is The Electric Light Orchestra with their biggest ever hit-song 'Don't Bring Me Down' (1979) from their album 'Discovery':
