A DAY in the life of our iconic Sydney Harbour has been captured in a mesmerising time-lapse video as part of #SnapSydney today.

The photographic celebration of Sydney’s favourite places and faces went viral on social media, trending at the top of Twitter during the day.

Photographer Craig Wilson’s three hours of rolling coverage from dawn shows the storm clouds disappearing and the Manly Ferry, along with other boats, making their way around the beautiful harbour.

The best of Australia has been captured in thousands of images as koalas, surfers and everyday people and their favourite places featured in a celebration of the world’s best city.
