Description
A detail of the Opera House, Sydney, Australia.As UNESCO says: Inaugurated in 1973, the Sydney Opera House, is listed as a great architectural work of the 20th century that brings together multiple strands of creativity and innovation, both in architectural form and structural design. A great urban sculpture set in a remarkable waterscape, at the tip a peninsula projecting into Sydney Harbour, the building has had an enduring influence on architecture. In 1957, when the project of the Sydney opera was attributed by an international jury to the then almost unknown Danish architect JΓΈrn Utzon, it marked a radically new and collaborative approach to construction. In listing the building, the Sydney Opera House is recognized as a great artistic monument accessible to society at large.

For your info. Utzon the architect died 29. november 2008, an the only other large projekt from him was The parliament building in Kuwait City.
Btw he was dysleksi and bad at math, but had a fantastic sense of space. see more [link]

Bellissimo scatto, sembrano le onde di un mare fatto di lamiere e cemento.
Adoro sia l'opera che l'architettura (anche l'Australia) quindi questa foto mi piace al 100%

Very nice - in some sections you've captured the blue tiles really well They often don't come up in shots at all!
