Sydney Opera House

A yacht makes its way past the Sydney Opera House, viewed across Sydney Harbour from the north shore suburb of Kirribilli. The Horizon Apartments building in the distance, dominates the sky behind the Royal Botanic Gardens at Farm Cove. This heritage listed building was designed by Danish architect Jørn Utzon and opened in 1973 as a multi-venue performing arts centre.

    Als always a fabulous view and then to think that Sidney kicked the architect out of the country with a big quarrel during the building process.

    I remember a lot of discussion about the design of this structure when it first opened. It was costly, and behind schedule. That is true of many a ground-breaking design that will stand the test of time. Have a blessed week-end.

      It certainly was controversial and unfortunately they did not follow the architect's plans for the interior and they and are still debating today whether it's worth spending millions of dollars to change it to that design.
