Travel Tuesday Photo: Sydney Opera House

The Sydney Opera House is most-often photographed from the Harbour side but this is the view as you approach it to visit inside. While the white “sails” indeed look like sails in other views, from this side they always remind me of conquistador helmets!  You can read more about the opera house tour we took here.
