The sun goes down on the city
It's like an explosion of light
Reflecting on the pavement and the walls.
Le ciel descend sur la ville
C'est comme une explosion de lumière
Se réflétant sur les murs et le sol...

On a sunny day in Paris, I thought it best to spend some of my time indoors so I could get away from the heat and harsh light, and hopefully take a few photos.
I therefore headed over to the Palais Garnier to check out their beautiful interior. It was a little crowded, so getting a shot of their grand staircase without people was never going to happen. I sat on the steps to the balcony you see in this image, waiting for that moment when the stairs may suddenly become free from all of the couples posing and tour groups learning. As this woman stood to admire the view I realised that I didn’t really have to focus on the stairs at all, and could instead block the majority of people out by using the balcony, and that this woman standing there was probably the ideal focal point for the image. So I grabbed a quick shot before she moved.
Voila, a location I felt had no real promise due to the masses of people was suddenly presenting an image to me. I’m very pleased with the results.
I did have to get rid of 5 people from the shots on the stairs and other balconies, but luckily the place is pretty symmetrical so I was able to cut elements of the architecture, about an inch at a time, from one side of the building and flip it over to the other side to cover the people, and then mask it in to the original architecture. Turned out okay.

Sydney Opera House (1957 - 1973) is a masterpiece of late modern architecture. It is admired internationally and proudly treasured by the people of Australia.
It was created by a young architect who understood and recognised the potential provided by the site against the stunning backdrop of Sydney Harbour.
Denmark’s Jørn Utzon gave Australia a challenging, graceful piece of urban sculpture in patterned tiles, glistening in the sunlight and invitingly aglow at night.
Jorn Utzon died in Copenhagen in November 2008 aged 90.
World Heritage Sites 002: Inaugurated in 1973, the Sydney Opera House is a great architectural work of the 20th century that brings together multiple strands of creativity and innovation in both architectural form and structural design.

The Opéra Garnier is one of the Paris National Opera's two home venues in the city. It was built from 1861 to 1875 on a commission of Napoleon III, along with the Place de l'Opéra on which the building stands, at the intersection of Boulevard des Capucines and Avenue de l'Opéra. Inaugurated as "le Nouvel opéra de Paris" (the New Paris Opera), the venue became known as the "Palais Garnier" within the first decades of its existence, acknowleding the plans and designs of its architect Charles Garnier. The Paris National Opera now uses the Palais Garnier mainly for ballet. The Palais Garnier also houses the Bibliothèque-Musée de l'Opéra de Paris (Paris Opera Library-Museum), although the Library-Museum is no longer managed by the Opera and is part of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France.
this is a shot taken directly against the Sydney Opera House, looking up to the sky. I was completely unaware that the opera house has this textured tile facade.
