Sydney Nightlife

2024-10, Haymarket, Sydney

An older woman in a peach-coloured tracksuit has a black bag over her arm, a couple of long green veg under her arm, and is handing money to the cashier at a Thai restaurant's takeaway storefront. She is looking disapprovingly at something off-frame.

A woman is performing to a small crowd, with her phone on a stand showing the music. She has a wireless microphone to her lips, her hand up waving to someone, and a massive smile on her dial. The heavily-blurred lights of George St and the tramway are visible in the background.

A lone seagull guides the steps in front of Sydney Town Hall, the interior barely visible through the frosted glass and casting a warm, inviting glow despite the closed doors. Thick stone columns are paired either side of the door, two pairs of two columns either side supporting the substantial roof.
Tarnished light grey stone steps lead down from the doors down to street level, where a couple clad in white clothing are looking down at a phone held in the man's hand, a slight smile visible from them both.

A guitarist is standing in front of a red-coloured wall, with "SHOP" above his head in white, sans serif, heavy text. He's playing an electric 6-string guitar with a white and red body, wearing a grey jacket, black shirt and black cap that says "NEW YORK".
A woman is about to pass him from left of frame, with long dark hair, wearing a white top and carrying a phone. A man has already passed him to the right, out of focus and wearing a dark top.
Neither are taking much notice of the performance.
