When the sun is shining and our timing is right, Big Boy and I get to experience this magnificent light show on our morning walks. It’s created by the sunlight on the wind-driven waves bouncing off the concrete pillars on the underside of the pedestrian footbridge. If it was a contemporary art installation at the MCA, I’d happily pay to view it, so you can imagine how chuffed I was to be standing in the middle of it!
It was particularly glorious earlier this week, so I took a video to share with you. This is exactly as my iPhone captured it – I haven’t added any filters or special effects…

In case you’re having trouble figuring out all the angles, here’s a photo taken this morning from the outside…
…and a middle of the day pic from a couple of months’ ago…

Pete suggested I upload the wider video as well, so you can see a bit more of the bridge (click on the fullscreen tab on the bottom right of the video for a better look)…

If you’re walking the Greenway or the Leichhardt side of the Bay Run in the mornings, the best time to catch the light show is around 8.30am, on sunny, windy days when the tide is high (I’m adding that info for you, Greg!).
Wishing you all light and happiness every day!

TRULY AMAZING!
Wow…just beautiful!
Isn’t that remarkable! It’s hard to imagine that it really is something so mundane as a bridge, water and light – it really is a light & shadow show worth seeing.
It is a contemporary art installation. Fab.
You see it. Interpret it. Record it. Share it. Art.
