Vivid Festival Sydney

Taipei Botanical Garden (台北植物園), Taipei, Taiwan

During a short visit to Taiwan, I was pleasantly surprised to see this lone male at Taipei Botanical Garden. This species is rarely seen at sea level. Its natural habitat is at higher altitudes. As can be imagined, its sighting attracted hundreds of birders to the Garden. It also invoked territorial aggression from another lone male of a different species, White-rumped Shama, also rarely seen and shown in the previous picture. With both birds liking the same tree, the Vivid Niltava was often chased away by the White-rumped Shama and only returned to feed when the latter was elsewhere.

Annual Event Viviv Sydney starts from tonight (25th May)

This is from last night. They were testing the lights.

Actually testing the full operation.

This is from Milsons Point, Sydney

Shot on a beach in the "The Beach" region of Toronto.

Thanks for viewing!

For Vivid Art where the June challenge is “The Vivid Sun”

The Coathanger is the name by which Sydneysiders affectionately refer to the Sydney Harbour Bridge. This is a second zoom burst photo of the bridge when it was lit up during the Vivid Festival. It is a longer exposure and I stopped zooming during some of the exposure. I was surprised by the detail in the face and ferris wheel at Luna Park, an amusement park.

Have a great weekend!

Thank you for your visit. I appreciate very much the faves and kind comments which have been left.

For this topic, I chose tiny glass bottles (18mm high in total and 9 mm wide) that I filled with water colored with food coloring. Unfortunately, the bottle necks are so narrow that I had to fill them with a syringe several times until the mixtures were right, which resulted in my sink looking like a nuclear explosion had taken place!😉

Für dieses Thema habe ich winzig kleine Glasfläschchen (18mm hoch total und 9 mm weit) gewählt, die ich mit Lebensmittelfarbe gefärbtem Wasser gefüllt habe. Leider sind die Flaschenhälse so eng, dass ich sie mit einer Spritze befüllen musste, und das mehrmals bis die Mischungen stimmten, was dazu führte, dass mein Spülbecken anschliessend aussah als ob eine nukleare Explosion stattgefunden hätte!😉
