Lighting it up for Vivid Sydney

It’s winter in Australia, and the residents of Sydney fend off the winter gloom with a citywide festival. The wild light shows of Vivid Sydney encourage people to explore the city and see it in a new light. (Sorry. That had to happen.) Our photo shows the interior of "PJ the Port Jackson Shark," a light sculpture at the Taronga Zoo. It allows visitors to walk into the mouth of the ‘shark.’
