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.

Sopot. Poland.
One of the most iconic things to do in Sopot is visit the famous forest opera. This massive amphitheater in the forest fits thousands of people in it and has some of the BEST acoustics in Europe.
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.

This was the last of the buildings constructed in the Arts and Sciences Park, opened in 2005 by Queen Sofia. Designed again by Santiago Calatrava, it is the tallest Opera House in the World with 14 stories, although from this level on the terrace the scale is hard to gauge.
You can't help thinking it looks like a Armoured Helmet from this angle, hence the title!
