Lighting of the bridge

As part of the Anniversary Day celebrations, the Harbour Bridge was illuminated, joining lots of other bridges in the latest civic-attractiveness arms race (remember when everybody had to have a needle?). Auckland’s bridge lights are supposedly the green-est, solar-est such installation in the world.

We were out on the wharf to witness the show… the lights really are amazing, as is the computerized choreography. There was some mixup with the audio streaming so we didn’t hear the specially commissioned music, but still cool.
