en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amargosa_Opera_House_and_Hotel. Death Valley Junction is the actual name of this tiny community where the opera house is located. For me, this place has always been an otherworldly landmark for the entrance to Death Valley National Park. The first time I passed by here I was a little astounded because you drive miles and miles and see nothing but sand and brush punctuated by beer bottles and plastic bags. Then, you come around a corner and signs of civilization like more trash and rusty, equipment and one more corner and there is an “opera house”. Make a left just beyond the opera house (NE) and in about 10 miles you at Furnace Creek.
Mary, why weren't you home when I came for our Rendezvous?
Sorry, Steve, but I had to do the Laundry!
It's Mike isn't it! You'd rather be with Mike that with me when I come over!
No, Steve! I have some socks that needed washing! You've got to believe me!
Is it obvious that I'm not good at writing Soap Opera dialogue?

Hello to anyone who found this here:
This is the Sydney Opera House about 45 minutes before dawn. It was almost dark, however I've post processed the image in CS6 to show how those huge glass panes add a modern cathedral look to the Opera House - I'd love to see it become a house of worship, and I think it would make it a perfect temple to worship the Supreme Being.
Exposure was about a minute at ISO 100 F22. I used a Hahnel Giga T Pro to interface with my camera. Something wrong with this device (hope it's just a battery).
Bear in mind that the shot was taken in near darkness from a distance of maybe 500 metres. This shot is about 10% of the original image area and has had almost no sharpening applied.
I think that's an astonishing result.
With respect to the Tokina 16-28 - I had wanted a Nikon 16-35 but the Tokina cost me $550 - less than half the price. I love the thing. As you can see from the crop, it's very sharp. I also think it has the "star Trek factor." It's such a nice piece of gear to hold in the hand. Heavy, precise and gorgeous, like the Nikon 24-70. I've noticed Sigma are making lenses with the Star Trek factor now, especially the 35 and 50 F1.4 art series. Nikon needs to address this. Nikon lenses for consumers are pretty mundane and the pro ones are prohibitively expensive.
The Palais Garnier is an elegant 1,979-seat opera house, which was built from 1861 to 1875 for the Paris Opera by the architect Charles Garnier. It was the primary home of the Paris Opera and its associated Paris Opera Ballet until 1989, when a new 2,700-seat house, the Opéra Bastille, with elaborate facilities for set and production changes, opened at the Place de la Bastille. The Paris Opera now mainly uses the Palais Garnier for ballet.
The Palais Garnier is probably the most famous opera house in the world, a symbol of Paris like Notre Dame cathedral, the Louvre, or the Sacré Coeur basilica. This is at least partly due to its use as the setting for Gaston Leroux's 1911 novel The Phantom of the Opera and the novel's subsequent adaptations in films and Andrew Lloyd Webber's popular 1986 musical. Another contributing factor is that among the buildings constructed in Paris during the Second Empire, besides being the most expensive, it has been described as the only one that is unquestionably a masterpiece of the first rank."

Sichuanese opera (Chinese: 川劇 is a type of Chinese opera originating in China's Sichuan province around 1700.Today's Sichuan opera is a relatively recent synthesis of 5 historic melodic styles. Regionally Chengdu remains to be the main home of Sichuanese opera.
Overall the art form is well known for its singing, which is less constrained than that of the more popular Beijing opera form. Sichuan opera is more like a play than other forms of Chinese opera, and the acting is highly polished. The music accompanying Sichuanese opera utilizes a small gong and an instrument called a Muqin, which is similar to the Erhu.
The traditional formula is quite systematic with a combination of stunts like face-changing, tihuiyan, sword-hiding, fire-spitting and beard-changing with the plot and different characters.
Depending on the style, face paint is also limited compared to other related forms. Jing characters do not appear, and the only painted face characters are those with a small white patch in the middle of the face, which indicates a slightly evil character.The face paint colors are traditionally limited to black, red, white and grey.
Built circa 1852 as the Charlottesville Town Hall. In 1887 it became an opera house. Today it appears to be used as a courthouse.
"Lighting The Sails", an art installation by Brian Eno: various changing designs are projected onto the famous silhouette of the Sydney Opera House. It is a feature of the "Luminous" festival, itself part of the current "Vivid" festival in central Sydney.
De estilo neobarroco, la Ópera Garnier, también llamado Ópera de París o Palacio Garnier, fue construido por el arquitecto Charles Garnier a petición de Napoleón III. Desde que se inauguró en 1874 fue oficialmente la Academia Nacional de Música. En 1989 la Compañía de la Ópera fue trasladada hasta el recientemente construido Teatro de la Bastilla, que recibió ese nombre por estar erigido en el lugar donde antaño se alzaba la Bastilla. A pesar de este cambio el Palacio Garnier sigue siendo conocido cómo la Ópera de París y continúa siendo una referencia para los amantes de este género.
Como curiosidad os diré que los hechos acontecidos en la obra de Gastón Leroux, El Fantasma de la Ópera, transcurren en este edificio.
Sydney Opera House is a modern expressionist design, with a series of large precast concrete "shells", each composed of sections of a hemisphere of the same radius, forming the roofs of the structure, set on a monumental podium. The building covers 1.8 hectares of land and is 183 metres long and 120 metres wide at its widest point. It is supported on 588 concrete piers sunk as much as 25 metres below sea level.
The roofs of the House are covered in a subtle chevron pattern with 1,056,006 glossy white- and matte-cream-colored Swedish-made tiles from Höganäs AB, though, from a distance, the shells appear a uniform white.
