The Oslo Opera House (in Norwegian, Operahuset) is the seat of The Norwegian National Opera and Ballet, and the national opera theatre in Norway. The building lies in Bjørvika, in the center of Oslo, at the head of the Oslofjord. Its builder was Statsbygg, a government-run property owner. The architects were the Norwegian firm Snøhetta who were also the architects of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina (the Library of Alexandria) in Egypt. The theatre designers were Theatre Projects Consultants based in London, the acoustic designers were BrekkeStrandArup, a joint venture between local consultant Brekke Strand Akustikk and international acousticians Arup Acoustics. Norwegian construction company Veidekke was awarded one of the largest building contracts of the project. The structure provides a total area of 38,500 m² and includes 1,100 rooms, one of which has 1,350 seats and another has up to 400 seats. Total expenditures for the building project were planned at 4.4 billion NOK, but finished ahead of schedule, and 300 million NOK under budget.
The Opera House was finished in 2007 with the opening event held on 12 April 2008. King Harald V of Norway opened the Opera House that evening at a gala performance attended by national leaders and royalty, including President Tarja Halonen of Finland, Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany and Queen Margrethe II of Denmark. The main stage is 16 meters wide, and can be made up to 40 meters deep.
The Opera won the culture award at the World Architecture Festival in Barcelona in October 2008. Jury member Sir Peter Cook said of the Opera House that it "...in its scale, ambition and quality has raised the bar for Norwegian architecture."

sorry for the great amount of pixels, but the camera needed about 1 minute to close the shutter again.
This picture was taken in a cold January night at -10°C with my old HP850 on an old tripod.

The full frame advantage of taking this shot with the Canon EOS 5D Mark II? Clear even at ISO 3200 with minimal noise, even in the blacks. And, noise reduction not on either!
This image is from a test shoot with the new 5D Mark II. There is so much more to say about this phenomenal camera but I am going to let the shooting do the talking as I start to use it :-)

You can be what you wanna be
You ain't got no responsibility
Every man in his mind is free
You're a million miles from reality
You can be what you wanna be...

This Cloud Nine: Raining installation in the middle of Singapore River, between Fullerton Hotel and Jubilee Bridge is by Tan Wee Lit, a sculptor and head of the Faculty of Visual Arts at the School of the Arts Singapore.
It caught my attention as I was walking to Esplanade as it seems to exude a sense of calmness amidst the tall buildings of the CBD in its background. I told myself, I had to come back here to capture this pretty installation.
This installation is part of the SG Heart Map which runs from 27 Nov to 6 Dec 2015. Be sure to check out the numerous works of talented people there.

Slider's Sunday
The sun was very bright and over-exposed the background, and I liked the ethereal effect it created, so I just lightened the highlights and shadows!! (No other editing!) I love how different it looks!
Thanks so much for your visit, your comments are always very much appreciated!
Have a Super Sunday!
Looking East along Vancouver's much-hyped Robson Street (lots of shops if you want to shuffle at a frustrating 1mph through the crowds. I almost never shop on Robson but I probably would if they pedestrianized it).
A fabulous evening for one last visit to Cloud Nine revolving restaurant at Robson Street's Landmark Hotel before its closes down and gets blasted to smithereens at the end of this month. Such a shame they let the place go to ruin since it really is the best place for 360 views of Vancouver - way moreso than the Harbour Centre Tower AND it's free! It takes about 90mins to do the full rotation. And what are they replacing it with? Two more hi-rise condo towers that no-one can afford. Oh Vancouver!
