In this striking shot of Sydney Harbour by PIM staffman Barry Badger, the Opera House, Sydney's pride and joy, floats along with green sails. But they're really white. It's a trick of the lighting. The lights in the sky are fireworks and there are illuminated ships because the picture was taken during the Captain Cook bicentenary celebrations. Three hundred Islanders will be performing in the Opera House in Octo ber as part of the grand celebrations of the opening by Queen Elizabeth. The scene should be the same.
