The exciting new opera house is located right on the waters of the Oslofjord; it was constructed between 2003 and 2007 and formally opened in 2008. It was designed by the Oslo architecture firm Snøhetta AS.
It has quickly become Oslo's most iconic building. The most intriguing aspect of its design is its roof construction. If reaches from the top of the building all the way to the waters of the Oslofjord. People can walk on the entire roof, and on a sunny day many locals lie on the sloped roof and work on a sun tan.

The Sydney Opera House, situated on Sydney Harbour at Bennelong Point, is considered by many to be one of the wonders of the modern world.
Designed by Jørn Utzon and constructed under some controversy, it was opened in October 1973.
Sydney Opera House, taken from a boat on the harbour at dusk. I loved the light, and hoped a slow shutter speed wouldn't cause *too* much blur. As it turned out, I was wrong, but camera shake made for an abstract shot.
