Sydney Opera House Desktop

Years ago I went to Australia. For 18 months I lived and worked in the Sydney metropolitan area of New South Wales. My work was in Hurstville, in Sydney's south, then later it was in Gosford, on the Central Coast just north of the city. I lived in Annandale, Lugarno & Woy Woy.

As a result, the Sydney Opera House became one of my favourite buildings in the world. It was the first building I spotted from the arriving airplane and the first place people pointed out after I disembarked. A few months later I realized that my radiator overheated any time I took my car near the Sydney Opera House. (The car was otherwise fine. Strangely enough it didn't overheat elsewhere. ) Despite this strong association with my bizarre steaming vehicle, I will always be a huge fan of the Sydney Opera House. People who contend that Sydney Harbour is the prettiest in the world just might be right!

Today's post highlights a photograph of the Sydney Opera House taken by Carl Henderson, a travel industry colleague & friend. This image of the Sydney Opera House is also on my desktop. For more great images of an architectural wonder as well as its magnificent harbour setting, just browse the Photo Gallery at the TPI - Janus Travel website. Look for the Australia album.
