When people think of Sydney, one of the first iconic buildings they always mention is, yes, you guessed right, the Opera House, and, I can absolutely understand why. It’s architectural beauty and location are breathtaking and make for some amazing photography. The Architect of the Opera House is in fact Danish and his inspiration for the design were the sails of boats in Sydney Harbour. Enough, about the history, I’m here to share with you, the TOP locations and different angles from which you can get some AMAZING shots of the Opera House.
