Sails - Sydney Opera House, Sydney, NSW, Australia

The Sydney Opera House about 10:00 p.m. on a mid November night 2011.
I took this shot from the deck of a boat while cruising back to Circular Quay.

Such an amazing building. Great shots!

Maybe one of the most photographed and recognizable buildings in the world. Love your night shot of it. It gives it such an abstract look and almost looks monochrome.

I have been in awe of the Sydney Opera House from the first time I saw a photo of it many years ago! Yours are superb! I would dearly love to be able to visit there! Your captures are the next best thing! Have a great week!

As an Aussie, I've seen the Opera House many times but it still takes my breath away! Especially these great shots!!

Andrea said...

Very beautiful photos, I've seen in some blogs that they put different lights on the Opera house and made it so dramatic. I will get you envious this time, because aside from touring the area i had the chance to watch an evening of opera inside the Opera House. They will always show you the toilet bowl for the queen!
