Sunday was the Sydney Opera House's 40th birthday.... and a free open day to wander through the two main concert halls and front areas behind the glass under the sails...and explore all the walkways and little nooks and crannies.... Just a wonderful day to capture some of the magnificent detailing from a brilliant architect... took loads of pics... one of which is my wallpaper below...  The meld of shapes, textures and materials throughout is just incredible...

After years of watching it grow, going over the Bridge every morning to school and work... and being at the opening... it was great to see it so warmly celebrated by so many people... it's a well loved structure...

and yes... there was cake...          link..      link...      link...    link...      and many thousands of li'l cupcakes...     link..

I thought I'd start off Halloween early. However...the gadgets for RIP 2007 refuse to work. Also the one for Halloween 2008.
