[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
We all know what the Sydney Opera House looks like, don't we? It's such an iconic landmark that I suspect there are undiscovered tribes in deepest Papua New Guinea or the heart of the Amazon rainforest who even know what it looks like. But do you REALLY know what it looks like? Did you know that the outer surface is covered in thousands and thousands of glazed, ceramic tiles? That's why it glistens and sparkles so beautifully when the late afternoon sun spreads its rays across the bay and onto those world-famous curves.

Regards,

Rich
