New Year's Eve: Sydney welcomes 2015 with massive fireworks show

Sydney takes pride in being one of the first major cities in the world to welcome each new year, and it greeted 2015 in its trademark glittery fashion - with a tropical-style fireworks display featuring shimmering gold and silver palm tree pyrotechnic effects. More than 1.5 million revelers crowded along the shores of Sydney harbor in warm summer weather to watch fireworks as the clock struck midnight, welcoming 2015.
