The Opera House is still looking fabulous, despite the miserable time Utzen had in Sydney back in the early 60s. I hope in his older age he enjoyed seeing it thrive.
No skies could ever take away from the Opera House -- even grumpy ones! But this is one of the very, very few photos of yours that I have seen with any other skies than blue, blue, blue! Beautiful shot! Hope you have a great weekend, Jim!
Thank you for letting me see this lovely place once again. Several years ago, I had the pleasure of visiting your country. Did not get to see the inside of this magnificent building.
I never tire of seeing the Sydney Opera House. I never get tired of listening to opera, either. As everyone knows, I teach our middle school in-school suspension class, but what they do not know is I have my students listen to opera. It is amazing how after a while they get to really like it. Your capture of the opera house is lovely. genie
Do I see clouds there in that sky? Amazing! What happened to the Sydney blue skies? Ha, ha! The opera house looks lovely even if the sun isn't shining brightly. Thanks for stopping by.

ReplyDeleteI'm not a huge fan of the Opera House Jim, but I have to say images like this one really show it at it's absolute best.

As iconic as your Harbour bridge - and a subject we never tire of seeing in all the changes the atmosphere brings to it.

Imagine a world with no sky—
Through what would the geese and crows fly?
And where would bears go
If there were no snow
Falling to earth from on high?

The overcast sky lets the tiles show more readily on the Opera House. Looks great and a wonderful composition.
