Designed as shell shaped sails, Sydney Opera House is the most recognized building of Sydney, Australia. One of the architectural wonders of modern world and one of the most visited and most photographed venue, too. I captured the spectacle of Sydney Opera House from varied angles during day. The night view was equally stunning when I looked at while cruising in Sydney harbour.

The multi venue center for performing arts, the Sydney Opera House is one of the busiest centers for variety of splendid performances. More than 1500 performances are being performed at Sydney Opera House, annually. Truly a treat watching one of these at the venue.

Sydney Opera House adorns Sydney harbour with another landmark of the city, Sydney Harbour Bridge, just close by. Famous Royal Botanical Gardens and central business center of the city are in the vicinity.

Uniquely designed by Danish architect, Sydney Opera House is not just a marvelous architecture, this has been considered as a heritage building. In year 2007, Sydney Opera House was granted the prestigious status of UNESCO World Heritage Site.
