Breakfast with a view of Sydney Opera House on Carnival Spirit cruise ship. What a beautiful home welcoming after cruising the South Pacific Islands.
Have a lovely day!
Sydney is the state capital of New South Wales and the most populous city in Australia and Oceania. It is on Australia's south-east coast, on the Tasman Sea. and Sydney has been referred to as the most multicultural city in Australia and one of the most multicultural cities in the world.
The Sydney Opera House is a multi-venue performing arts centre in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Situated on Bennelong Point in Sydney Harbour, close to the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the facility is adjacent to the Sydney central business district and the Royal Botanic Gardens, between Sydney and Farm Coves.
Designed by Danish architect Jørn Utzon, the facility formally opened on 20 October 1973after a gestation beginning with Utzon's 1957 selection as winner of an international design competition. The NSW Government, led by Premier Joseph Cahill, authorised work to begin in 1958, with Utzon directing construction. The government's decision to build Utzon's design is often overshadowed by circumstances that followed, including cost and scheduling overruns as well as the architect's ultimate resignation.
Though its name suggests a single venue, the project comprises multiple performance venues which together are among the busiest performing arts centres in the world — hosting over 1,500 performances each year attended by some 1.2 million people. The venues produce and present a wide range of in-house productions and accommodate numerous performing arts companies, including four key resident companies: Opera Australia, The Australian Ballet, the Sydney Theatre Company and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. As one of the most popular visitor attractions in Australia, more than seven million people visit the site each year, with 300,000 people participating annually in a guided tour of the facility.
Identified as one of the 20th century's most distinctive buildings and one of the most famous performing arts centres in the world, the facility is managed by the Sydney Opera House Trust, under the auspices of the New South Wales Ministry of the Arts.
The Sydney Opera House became a UNESCO World Heritage Site on 28 June 2007.
Melbourne has been sweltering with temperatures over 40 degrees. Now it's Sydney's turn for 40 plus temps over the weekend. mmm Global warming.
I like how the cloud formation here looks like smoke rising from the bridge.

View of Sydney Harbour Bridge taken at 6am from the Carnival Spirit cruise ship. I love cruising, it's very relaxing & lots to do, accept there is too much food. Looking forward to the next one.
Have a lovely Sunday!
Sydney Harbour Bridge è un ponte ad arco di Sydney che collega il CBD con l'area settentrionale della città, North Shore, attraversando la Baia di Sydney, costituita dalla foce del fiume Parramatta.

Sydney. 4 image hdr plus blending in of parts from original RAW files. I have another frame to add on the right but I'm too lazy now to add it. This took ages to process.
Once again taken from Kirribilli. I went back there a few times at different times to get a different light and sky. I really love this spot. It's just so beautiful. I went to take pictures with my father who's getting pretty fanatic as well now. It was really cloudy but suddenly the sky opened up and the sun shone through.
