Sydney - the Opera House

More Interesting Close Up
I took a walk after breakfast on the inner harbor. I walked through the huge botanical gardens east of downtown unaware that they lead directly to the opera house. Up close, the angles are much more interesting, especially in direct sunlight.



I'm impressed with how the central business district is reined in, away from the harbor. Most of the space is given over to parkland and promenades. It's a clear signal about what is important here.

@Pops - thanks. The photos don't really do it justice - it's pretty spectacular standing close with the sun shining on it.
