Ah...don't
the two make a pretty match? |
 |
|
Here I am, on a cruise
just infront of the famous structure.
Hey, don't you think the guy in blue behind me look like
Stone Cold Steve Austin? |
 |
|
Errr...ah, there I am!
To the left. |
 |
|
Here's the Opera House
close up |
 |
|
And here's the inside
of a section of the whole structure.
This one's a cafe. |
 |
|
This section is
closed. To the right must be some
registration booth for concerts or something. You can also
see the Harbour bridge from here. |
 |
|
This section is open.
Nothing much here really. What you
see here is basically everything in this section of the
opera house except a restaurant behind the pic. There's a
souvenir shop behind the two folks at the centre. |

Here's a chain of
cafes and restaurants at the basement |

The Sydney Opera House, a major performing arts
centre on the harbour in Sydney. It houses a concert hall, a theater for
opera and ballet, recording and rehearsal rooms and a movie theater. It also
became the home of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, the Australian Ballet, and
the Australian Opera. Jorn Utzon, a Danish architect designed it. Later, in
1956, he won an international competition for the project and the Sydney
Opera House became famous. However, on constructing this building, the
structures distinctive sail-shaped towers in Utzon's original design were
pronounced 'unbuildable' by the British engineering firm of Ove Arup &
Partners and were redesigned at a much lower angle. The project was
completed in 1973.
