Some of the whole #5

Description


Jørn Utzon’s design won out of some 230 entries from over thirty countries, his concept was selected — described by the media at the time as “three shell-like concrete vaults covered with white tiles.”

Here is an ultra-close up view of some of those white tiles.

Have an excellent weekend everyone!
