Opera House...again! by maggiemae

Opera House...again!

There was rain today and I could wear my raincoat finally after days of fine weather! Clearing rain means clouds and if you are lucky the evening sun breaks through! John pointed out the grey and almost black clouds out there but, believe it or not, I replied, " I'm a bit sick of taking pics of the Opera House!" However it developed somewhat....

Three good things:
1. Went to David Jones having heard about it and bought a "clock radio"! My old one was bought second hand for peanuts! This one of course can play all my IPod music and now I am in my own concert stadium!
2. Who could better (1)!
3. Tried on all the men's hats on John who tried to avoid this and sprayed myself with all the perfume I came across!
Very moody. Dramatic thunderheads

The cloud is just about to envelop the opera house in it. Never sick of looking at the opera house shot.

I'm glad you took just one more of it Maggiemae. the colors and drama in the sky reflecting off that iconic symbol of Sydney have the feeling of a Renaissance painting. This is a stunning shot if it!
