Photographer's Note
Going to Australia I knew that I was gonna take lots of pictures with its most famous building. Of course I was right and now I can fill one photo-alboom only with Opera shots.
The one I am presenting here is probably the most interesting - a very close view during the sunset.
Here are some facts and numbers about the Opera I've found in the internet:
- designed by Danish architect Jorn Utzon,
- opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 20 October 1973,
- cost $AU 102,000,000 to build,
- conducts 3000 events each year,
- provides guided tours to 200,000 people each year,
- has an annual audience of 2 million for its performances,
- includes 1000 rooms,
- is 185 metres long and 120 metres wide,
- has 2194 pre-cast concrete sections as its roof,
- has roof sections weighing up to 15 tons,
- has roof sections held together by 350 kms of tensioned steel cable,
- has over 1 million tiles on the roof,
- uses 6225 square metres of glass and 645 kilometres of electric cable.

Excelent shot there ,Henryk! I like the skys colours and how they are mixed with the setting sun. I also enjoyed the triangular from which the sun in "looking at us".
There is a bit of noise in the sky so I would suggest to use neat image to remove that!!!

Ce monument fait le sujet de beaucoup de clichιs mais celui-ci est particuliθrement rιussi ΰ cause de la lumiθre du couchant. Les personnages donnent l'ιchelle de ces grands coquillages.

Henryk, a charming photo this "Opera at sunset", by the colors of the sky and the originality of the architecture by its form.
You have found a a good job, congratulations.
A hug.......... Paco

Hello Henryk, this is a wonderful evening shot of the Opera House. I love the glow of the sun peeking between the buildings and the pink clouds in the sky.

Hi Henryk,
Although I never went there, this opera of Sydney is one of my favorite monument. I like the way you captured it.
