Il Giardino Italiano (Italian Garden)
Il Giardino Italiano includes fountains and water channels celebrating the sounds and elements of water. From the large children’s play area to the opera walk, the garden is a feast for the eyes and includes several Italian-style plantings of fruit and herbs. Bocce courts, numerous seating areas and a large feast table make this space a wonderful gathering area in the Park.

Cette balade fait partie des incontournables. Paysage et criques splendides
C'est une ballade magnifique qui offre des points de vue extraordinaires sur la côte, les plages et les villes alentour comme Toulon.
À l'origine, l'île de Giens était semblable à ses voisines, les îles d'Hyères. Jusqu'au jour où, il y a plusieurs milliers d'années, s'opéra lentement un phénomène naturel le plus curieux de toute la méditerranée : le double tombolo (les deux cordons sableux qui relient l’île au continent).
La randonnée sur la Presqu’île de Giens est une boucle de 6km autour du port de la Madrague. C’est une balade d’une étonnante richesse qui parcourt différents milieux, allant de la pinède littorale au milieu dunaire, en passant par le littoral. Des paysages aussi diversifiés que surprenants à découvrir !

his ride is a must. Beautiful landscape and coves
It is a beautiful ballad that offers extraordinary views of the coast, beaches and surrounding towns like Toulon.
Originally, the island of Giens was similar to its neighbors, the islands of Hyères. Until the day when, thousands of years ago, there was slowly a most curious natural phenomenon of all the Mediterranean: the double tombolo (the two sandy cords that connect the island to the continent).
The hike on the peninsula of Giens is a loop of 6km around the port of Madrague. It is a stroll of astonishing richness that goes through different environments, ranging from the coastal pine forest to the dune, passing by the coast. Landscapes as diverse as surprising to discover!

Frankfurt Opera House with a minute long exposure time ensured that anyone crossing if front of me would vanish as long as they kept moving. iPhone ReeXpose App used.
But apart from the cyclist looking on his phone for guidance the foreground was empty, which is what I wanted. A couple of ghosts standing on the steps on the left hand side, adds to the mystery.

Sorry for excessively over posting from this spot:p
The famed Vienna State Opera (German: Wiener Staatsoper) is an Austrian opera house and opera company based in Vienna, Austria. It was originally called the Vienna Court Opera (Wiener Hofoper). In 1920, with the replacement of the Habsburg Monarchy by the First Austrian Republic, it was renamed the Vienna State Opera. The members of the Vienna Philharmonic are recruited from its orchestra.
I just couldn't resist. When travelling along Australia's east coast, we just had to stop near Sydney for a few days and photograph the Opera house. Weatherwise it were the worst days of our journey, but blue hour is always an option when photographing cities, even with rain. Here it was dry though, after a thunderstorm had moved by an hour earlier.
This is the other vantage point I've shot from before. See the Austria Album for comparison.
Again, I tried to vary the image by shooting early in blue hour instead of my normal last few minutes of dusk and by giving it a wide panoramic treatment.
I thought it would be prudent for our trip to capture this very well known view from the Albertina seeing as how the 19 April we spent the evening in Carmen, a three-hour opera sung in French. Turns out we're not opera people, I guess we've reached our limit of high-brow culture, but it was wonderful to experience it here anyway.

Built in the sixties and using spherical geometry, the Sydney Opera House, “changed the image of an entire country” [quote by Frank Gehry]
...was planning to get up this morning & meet my good friend Mario Bekes down at "The Rocks" for some sunrise shots. My alarm didn't go off and I woke at 5:45am....well after having planned to meet Mario. Several txt messages later, I was back asleep whilst Mario finished aff his shots in the rain.
Hope you got a few decent photos in Mario & if you didn't here is one from my WIP folder.
Opera Blue is for you Mario - Sorry : )
Note: when I originally took this photo, I used some selective desaturation (House Lights). Which do you prefer?

Tram No 101 is about to draw away from the Opéra stop in Reims centre. It is working route B, from the TGV station to Neuchâtel. Route A is almost the same but slighly shorter, originating at Hôpital Debré as opposed to the TGV station.
The cathedral is a block away on the left.
I took this while attending Pella, IA Tulip Festival. It was settled by Dutch immigrants and this heritage is well represented throughout the town. According to Wikipedia there is even a Pella Dutch dialect.
The Pella Opera House was Pella’s first 4-story structure, located in the heart of downtown Pella. The current building is actually the second Opera House in town. According to an article written by Ray Koenigs in the 1986 Pella History Book, an earlier Opera House had been built in 1860. That building was destroyed in a fire in 1883, and three years passed before there was talk of building a replacement.
The building was designed by architect Stanley De Gooyer and was built and largely financed by Herman Rietveld, owner of the Pella Drain and Tile Company. The Pella Advertiser of November 8, 1900 says that, “Mr. Rietveld has done more for the building interests of Pella than any other man in our city.” A business man with many interests, he was involved in banking, newspaper publishing, various manufacturing businesses and farming.
On July 21, 1900, ground was broken and construction began.
Today, in the triangle at the top of the Opera House, one can read the words “Opera House Block.” Block in this case is a reference to a business area building rather than a city block. The building was 65 feet high, 120 feet long and 40 feet wide. A few days before its opening, the Pella Advertiser stated that “the ground floor will be devoted to offices, an implement room, a heating plant for the entire building as well as the box office and grand staircase leading to the second floor theater. The stage is 28 feet in depth with an opening 18′x20′ and fitted with the latest scenery from the finest studios in the US. There was also a balcony and above that on the 4th floor will be a large room with a Brussels carpet, fit for receptions and banquets. Hundreds of incandescent lights will illuminate the interior.”
The opening play on Saturday, November 16, 1900, at 12:30pm was “What Happened to Jones?” The critic who reviewed the performance praised the orchestra, but complained that the play itself was devoid of any real plot to give it an interest and consisted in the sandwiching of jokes both new and old between the flimsy makeshift of a plot.[Opera House website]
Ściana Opery Krakowskiej, ul. Topolowa, Kraków, 7 września 2010 r.
Od 1893 r. spektakle operowe odbywały się w Teatrze Miejskim im. Juliusza Słowackiego. W 1954 r. powołano do życia Operę Krakowską. Spektakle operowe odbywały się nadal w Teatrze Słowackiego, natomiast repertuar operetkowy prezentowany był w Domu Żołnierza przy ul. Lubicz. Właśnie w tym miejscu w 2008 r. otwarto nowy gmach projektu Romualda Loeglera.
