Today's theme is shots from around Sydmney Harbour. Here a shot of the Sydney Opera House taken on a bleak morning while I waited for the sun to break through the clouds. It never happened, but when the world hands me lemons, I make lemoade; here is the result.

I was walking along Rue Charlot in the third arrondisement of Paris when I stumbled upon a Sunday morning street market. As I turned the corner I encountered this man, surrounded by a crowd of people gathered to hear him sing Italian opera at Le Lutétia, a sidewalk cafe. He had an amazing voice and held his audience spellbound. I found a table, sat down, ordered myself a glass of French wine, while I watched in awe, as people spontaneously joined in on the familiar lyrics The crowd, presumably neighborhood friends, all gave him an overwhelming ovation, as he well deserved. I must say that this was one of my most memorable moments in Paris. Sometimes you just have to walk, walk and walk with no agenda because you'll never know what happy scenes you might encounter along the way.
I might add, parenthetically, that I have never encountered such a scene in any of my travels throughout Italy, a country I love. In fact, I rarely hear Italian opera, or any opera, being sung or played anywhere in Italy unless, of course, I’ve bought tickets to the opera. Unlike my travels to France, I only encounter pop American music while in Italy.
A man alone in misery sits
His dreams have all been smashed to bits
Abandoned by the one he loves
His heart as fragile as a doves
Alone he sits inside the waste
Of mirrors smashed to hide his face.....

No trip to Australia would be complete without the stunning image of the Opera House from the water. The shape and form of this building (for a retired architect) are awesome.
For whatever reason this cavernous underground space seemed like it should be the stage for an epic rock opera. Lower Randolph and Columbus, Chicago, Illinois.
The "Dubai Opera" is a performing arts center located in the "Opera District".
Completed in 2016 and opened on 31 August of that year with a performance by Plácido Domingo.
The building is multifunctional and can be converted from a traditional theater into either a concert hall, banquet hall or even exhibition space. Using hydraulic lifts and seating wagons to relocate 900 of the 2,000 seats, the space can be used for events while the extra seating is stored beneath the theater. Design by Janus Rostock of Atkins, the shape shall resemble a dhow (traditional Arabic sailing vessel)

Ein Ausflug nach Wien
Alle, die keinen Urlaub machen können, mögen mich auf einer Runde durch Wien begleiten. Vorbei an den berühmten Sehenswürdigkeiten, aber vielleicht auch abseits Sehenswertes entdecken ...
Die Wiener Staatsoper ist eines der bekanntesten Opernhäuser der Welt. Die Fassaden sind im Renaissance-Bogenstil gehalten, die beiden Darstellungen über der Hauptfassade stellen zwei geflügelte Pferde dar, die von der Harmonie und der Muse der Poesie geführt werden. Im Mai 1869 wurde sie mit Mozarts Premiere von Don Giovanni eröffnet.
Die Staatsoper ist auch Schauplatz des Wiener Opernballs, der Höhepunkt der Wiener Faschingsballsaison. Er findet immer am letzten Donnerstag vor Aschermittwoch statt. Zu diesem Zweck werden die Stühle des Parterres abgebaut und ein Boden auf einem Gerüst errichtet, wodurch eine Tanzfläche von 850 m² entsteht und das Opernhaus in einen Ballsaal verwandelt wird.
A trip to Vienna
All those who cannot take a holiday may follow me on a tour through Vienna. Past the famous sights, but perhaps you will also discover sights worth seeing off the beaten track …
The Vienna State Opera is one of the most famous opera houses in the world. The façades are in the Renaissance arch style, the two figures above the main façade portray two winged horses led by Harmony and the Muse of Poetry. It opened in May 1869 with Mozart's premiere of Don Giovanni.
The State Opera is also the venue for the Vienna Opera Ball, the highlight of the Viennese carnival ball season. It always takes place on the last Thursday before Ash Wednesday. For this purpose, the chairs of the parterre are dismantled and a floor is erected on scaffolding, creating a dance floor of 850 m² and transforming the opera house into a ballroom.
