A gigantic, yellow rubber duck sits alongside the Australian-built replica of James Cooks ship Endeavour as it is prepared prior to being floated into Sydneys Darling Harbour on January 5, 2013 to kick off Sydneys annual arts festival, a celebration which combines high-art with popular entertainment. The rubber duck by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman forms part of the 2013 Sydney Festival which will present more than 750 artists from about 17 countries around the world, with many of the events free and family-oriented to showcase the personality of Australias biggest city.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, a vibrant and colossal yellow rubber duck takes center stage alongside the magnificent replica of James Cook's ship Endeavour. This enchanting sight marks the commencement of Sydney's annual arts festival, an extraordinary fusion of high-art and popular entertainment that showcases the diverse cultural tapestry of Australia. Crafted by renowned Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman, the oversized rubber duck is a whimsical addition to the 2013 Sydney Festival. As it floats gracefully into Darling Harbour, it symbolizes joy and playfulness while capturing the imagination of both young and old alike. The festival itself promises to be a grand spectacle, featuring over 750 artists from approximately 17 countries across the globe. With numerous events designed for families and offered free of charge, it serves as a testament to Sydney's vibrant personality as Australia's largest city. This photograph beautifully captures not only the scale and vibrancy of these artistic installations but also highlights their ability to captivate audiences from all walks of life. The juxtaposition between tradition represented by Endeavour and contemporary art embodied in Hofman's rubber duck creates an intriguing visual narrative that speaks volumes about Australia's rich cultural heritage. Photographer Greg Wood skillfully immortalizes this momentous occasion through his lens, allowing viewers to experience firsthand the magic that unfolds during this remarkable celebration where art becomes accessible to all.
