Pilgrims Progress

The Pilgrims Progress
World Youth Day Pilgrims at Barangaroo


I took this photo during World Youth Day, on the night of the opening Mass. This is basically the view I had while trying to move through the throngs of pilgrims crowding the exit points. The colourful beanies are not just for show - it was quite cold that night! As soon as the opening Mass had finished, people were crowding around every exit point trying to find a way out. It was difficult to stay together as a group in such a crowd, so we just stayed put and enjoyed the beautiful sight of Sydney during WYD at night!

This photo taken with the Fujifilm S9600 digital camera. It is one of a series of photos commemorating the occasion of World Youth Day Sydney 2008.

    I am a pilgrim of WYD08 - and I was in Barangaroo this night. The mass was beautiful, and I agree, this was indeed a beautiful sight of Sydney during WYD! WYD08 was so awesome! I can't wait for MadWYD'11!!

    Hi Kathy,

    Same here - I'm already starting to save for WYD Madrid. Incidentally, I see you've noticed the "mad" acronym for WYD2001 - I wonder what the official name is going to be?

    Cheers,

    David

    Hi Abraham Lincoln,

    Thanks for dropping round again and giving your feedback on the photo. I was wondering how another photographer would see this picture!

    All the Best until we meet again.

    Cheers,

    David

    David you don't need to respond to me if you are busy. I can write you an email if there is something urgent. I just enjoy looking at your photos and reading about your exploits. And I like this photo. It's very colorful. Taking pics of the backs of people is something I enjoy doing as well. I read you are not supposed to do it but why not? It can be very dramatic at times.
