Carolyn J. Connolly November 13, 2006

WOW, Donna - this is an absolutely STUNNING capture of 'some of the whole' of the BEAUTIFUL Sydney Opera House!! I can see that I'm REALLY going to L-O-V-E this new series of yours, showing details that you found whilst in Sydney!! :o)

I agree with Paul, too, when he says, "The best captures of the Opera House I have seen are ones that take part of the whole. There are some wonderful elements to this beautiful building." You have certainly optimised the design elements in this image, Donna - VERY nicely done indeed!! :o)

Have fun with your property/house hunting in the Bremer River Valley, won't you?!! Just make sure you find a place up out of flood reach, though!! (I've been Googling!!) ;o) How far would you have to travel to work from out there? Phil and I will have to visit that area next time we're up Brisie way!! We hope you're all having a WONDERFUL week!! :o) #3583408

Thanks for the heads-up re: flooding Carolyn...I had noticed some of the areas were low lying.
Great to hear from you and from DW too.
Your comments are much appreciated!
