Opera House Cost More Than Three Tenners

Catch The Dying Light On Sydney Harbour

It was late evening in Sydney and I only had about fifteen minutes to spare. I rushed down to Circular Quay with the light fading fast and I took this shot with a little four-megapixel Pentax Optio. Look carefully at the shot and you'll see that it's not a normal depiction of the harbour view. Yes, that's the Sydney Harbour Bridge, but what you see is actually the reflection of the bridge itself in a display board for the Opera House. The black-and-white square in the bottom right of the display board shows the stylised design of Jorn Utzon's most famous work, the Opera House, while the diagram directly above it shows a scale drawing of his building that practically symbolises Sydney.
