* Sydney Opera House *

From a trip back in 1998, here's a picture of the Opera House in Sydney, Australia.

As I have stated in the past, from a distance, it looks like a family of turtles that got run over by a truck. 

Up close it is a pretty fascinating. It is truly an amazing architectural structure. I didn't have the chance to go inside but I was able to peek through the windows. I can only imagine all the man hours that went into building it. The roof, itself is lined with thousands of small ceramic tiles.
