Opera House, bench

A bench at the Overseas Passenger Terminal where you can enjoy the views across Circular Quay and Sydney Harbour. A stage for an outdoor performance in front of the Sydney Opera House steps is under construction. I was inspired by the 'A Bunch of Benches' blog.

    A shot with careful composition. The more I look, the more I see, line and reflection and the railing perfectly in line with the base of the opera house.

    Thank you for letting me see once again one of the most beautiful places I have seen. I love that country and wish I could have seen more of it. At least, I can enjoy seeing it through your lens.

    What a great view. I love that the fencing is clear to leave you an unobstructed view over the water.

    VP, no worries. Feel free to post this shot on your blog. I'm adding 'benches' tags to my shots, so they are easier to find. I plan to go back and add them to all the old shots too.
