A big thank you to Pat the security head officer on duty this evening at the Sydney Opera House, without his authorisation, instructions to his team and blessing I would not have been able to launch my kite. I suspect that some prints from my tentative last year showed him I was not a terrorist or a threat. His concern was more for the peacefulness and quietness of the place and I promised him that if the crowd was too big around my activities I would bring my kite down…Fortunately it was”happy hour time” and this is important for the Aussies. Thank you Pat and your team, you made my day, I had a great time.
I must say that during this 60 minute KAP session I had the feeling that everything was right : the light, the wind, the kite, the rig, the camera, I felt privileged and above all happy. (sounds silly but so great!)

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.
