Sydney Opera House
Sydney Opera House on Bennelong Point is the most recognised Sydney landmark throughout the world. It was designed and mostly built by Danish architect Jørn Utzon. The Sydney Opera House was opened in 1973 and was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007. It is a multi-venue performing arts centre. On a bright sunny day the white tiled shells cast a reflection in the blue waters of Sydney Cove, on Sydney Harbour.
Always a beautiful scene in your part of the world! Great photos.

ReplyDeleteJim,
ReplyDeleteLovely - could be a stock photo! Hope u are having a nice weekend, Ev
True, it is well known! Even I way far away in Canada recognize it right away! Great shot!
ReplyDeleteGreat blog with fantastic pictures. I lived in Sydney (Manly Beach) from 90 to 92 when my children were really young. I used to take the JetCat to cross over to the city. There was a park near the Opera House where I would "liberate" the kiddies from the pram and let them run. It seems like a long time ago because the kiddies are now 20 and 22!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful building and I love the blue water.
ReplyDeleteB.
That white reflection on the water is so stunning! What a wonderful day it must have been...I wish you more and more of them!
ReplyDeleteSo they do, can't say I've noticed before - usually too many ferries chopping up the water.
ReplyDeleteThis is such an incredible building. Wonderful reflection, you even caught the light reflecting off of the tiles. Beautiful! Kathy
ReplyDeleteA well known icon but always looks beautiful! The Harbour waters look so wonderfully blue!

ReplyDeleteGreat shot. Great building. Interesting history too. Bill calls it "Sonya's Workshop" as that is where our daughter works as a production manager.
ReplyDeleteReflection in the water and even a spot of sunlight even on the shell.
