Welcome to "an enchanting oasis nestled in the heart of Darling Harbour."
A completely zen haven nestled in between all the hustle and bustle of Chinatown. Light rain and cloudy skies hover above us, but that adds onto the quiet stillness and tranquil atmosphere.
The city lights come alive. The sky darkens and gets bluer, losing its brightness and natural source of light.
The artificial lights glow up the city, the parks, and the buildings bringing a whole new energy into night.
After the rain, everything sparkles and glistens. The air smells fresher. The sun comes out, brightening our moods and our views.
I loved the peacefulness of this scene and decided to add extra dreamy effects with a mix of blur and blue-green hues.
Pylon Lookout Part III: Wait a little longer after the first magical start of twilight as everything darkens and becomes more vibrant.
The last drops of sunlight remain as the city lights turn on.

From this scene, it looks like a tropical, humid summer with vibrant plants and overcast slash rainy skies.
The reality is more like winter...but still just as magnificent when you watch the contrast of nature and city vibes come alive from this garden.
Pylon Lookout Part II: The twilight hour approaches after the sun sets.
The colors become muted and soft but still bright enough where sights are visible.
The clouds have higher contrast and are more prominent.
The skyscrapers stand tall and get ready to illuminate into the night.
Pylon Lookout Part I: The color of Sydney Opera House continues to transform throughout the day from white to glowing yellow as the direction of the sun (or lack thereof) changes as the hours fly by.
One of my favorite captures is during twilight as the mostly cloudy sky absorbs some of the fading sunset colors and the lights begin to flicker into the evening.
