Two Arcs - Sydney Harbour (Mon 10 Sep 2001)

Two Arcs - Sydney Harbour (Mon 10 Sep 2001)

David Malouf (*) writes On The Sydney Opera House (*) which 40 years ago appeared near the Sydney Harbour Bridge (*) as :
a new emblem [..] and Sydneysiders immediately saw the two as mirrors of one another, the arc of the bridge and its broken reflection; another arc, but divided now into sections and fitted one inside the next. The new force ran between the two. Like the force in Paris that runs between Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower, and in Rome between the Colosseum, the Pantheon and Michelangelo's St Peter's.

Happy 40th Birthday - Sydney Opera House (Sun 20 Oct 2013)

A few hours before - Sydney Opera House (Mon 10 Sep 2001)

With my first digital camera, I spent many an afternoon or evening after work taking photos of the Sydney Opera House. Today is the 40th Birthday of her opening. Seems to be a week of celebrations ahead, so I will look into the archives to see what I can find and post them here.
