    This is a superb shot, Jim...gentle and dramatic at the same time! You must have a number of shots of the opera House...it would be cool to see them put together as a collage, don't you think?

    Lovely sunset. Perfect timing. You managed to capture the shot when the sky is still blue and the sun is beginning to set. Awesome! What nice skies you have!

    Have a wonderful weekend.
