The Opéra Garnier in Paris is a great architectural landmark with neo-gothic style. These rich interiors(paintings, chandliers, gold leaf) are characteristics of Baroque sumptuousness (Jul 2008)
Got the D700 finally and went out to take a few snaps...
Wish you a nice friday and a great weekend!

O Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía, inaugurado a 8 de outubro de 2005, é o edifício dedicado às artes cénicas e à ópera no complexo da Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències, em Valência. Projetado pelo arquiteto valenciano Santiago Calatrava, integra-se no plano urbanístico iniciado em 1996 ao longo do antigo leito do rio Túria. A estrutura, com aproximadamente 75 metros de altura e mais de 40 000 metros quadrados, distingue-se pela imponente cobertura laminada em forma de pluma ou capacete, sustentada por dois apoios e revestida a mosaico cerâmico branco (trencadís), técnica de tradição mediterrânica. No interior, alberga quatro salas principais, entre as quais a Sala Principal, com 1 412 lugares, destinada à ópera, e o Auditori. Sede da Orquestra da Comunidade Valenciana, o edifício enfrentou, ao longo dos anos, problemas de desprendimento do revestimento exterior, exigindo intervenções de conservação. A imagem capta o conjunto ao anoitecer, refletido nos espelhos de água que envolvem o complexo arquitetónico.
The Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía, which opened on October 8, 2005, is the building dedicated to the performing arts and opera within the Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències complex in Valencia. Designed by the Valencian architect Santiago Calatrava, it is part of the urban development plan launched in 1996 along the former riverbed of the Turia River. The structure, approximately 75 meters high and covering more than 40,000 square meters, is distinguished by its imposing laminated roof shaped like a feather or helmet, supported by two pillars and clad in white ceramic mosaic (trencadís), a traditional Mediterranean technique. Inside, it houses four main halls, including the Main Hall, with 1,412 seats, designed for opera, and the Auditori. Home to the Valencian Community Orchestra, the building has faced, over the years, problems with the exterior cladding peeling away, requiring conservation work. The image captures the complex at dusk, reflected in the water features surrounding the architectural complex.

The pigeons remain loyal to the FF crew. I asked them to give up the location of the hunt items in Opera and they refused like good birbs should.

Darth Vader in Paris,
Years ago I got up at 5 am to shoot the Opera Garnier in Paris with no one there. Lately, I got the idea what if Darth Vader landed there to do a little inspection for a John William concert at the opera:-)
He would not want to be noticed and come there early.
I saw the last star war Movie The Last Jedi. I love the new characters, but I was disappointed by Luke Skywalker lack of spirit, he was the one character in the Saga that was a true Jedi and I felt it didn't make sense for him to be so down. What did you think?
I got the inspiration from the amazing book of www.cedricdelsaux.com/en/photos/dark-lens.html if you are a star war fan it is a must buy!
