Sydney Opera House

The Sydney Opera House stands on the end of Bennelong Point between Farm Cove and Circular Quay. This view across Sydney Harbour is from the north shore suburb of Kirribilli. It was designed by Danish architect Jørn Utzon and opened in 1973. This multi-venue performing arts centre was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007.

I'm going on holidays for the next few weeks so I'll be taking a break from posting until early September.

  11. Whenever I see this building I always think of Australia. Such a wonderful place. I wish someday to visit it. Maybe next time I go home to the pHilippines, we'll swing by australia as well.

  13. Jørn Utzon was a genius but his path to fame in Sydney was rather tragic.
