the thirty fourth

Today, I decided to take a walk around Sydney's most iconic landmark - the Opera House. For more information about the opera house, you can kindly direct yourself to their website =) Within this walk around, there were a lot of opportunities for pattern type pictures, and a section will be dedicated to the patterns of the Opera House.

It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon with the sun beating down on the waves and presented very good contrast to the building. Aussies (and tourists) took to the elegant Opera House and made a day out of it.

Looking through the glass.

And now comes the patterns, tons of them. I didn't realise that the Opera House was made of tiles on the outside. It felt like marble.  Patterns, patterns and more patterns....

And more...

After a walk around and the pictures, this seagull decided to keep me company... Either that or it wanted my beer. 

And the entertainment from the bar below the Opera House - called Opera Bar. He started his first set with 'Ain't No Sunshine' and it was amazing..

So last weekend, I went to the Aroma festival in Sydney. This festival highlights the coffee culture within the city and showcases the gourmet coffee brewsters and their roasts.

The Rocks at the Aroma festival. It was real crowded.

A man and his foto-box. What this guy does is that he goes around at events and he gives away pictures for free. Don't know whether he has a website though. FYI, this is not a marketing gimmick for him, and should he request me to take down this picture, I will.

So this was the photo that came out of the box. I think it looks pretty good actually. Its free and gives memories. 

Just a few baristas and their love for the art. 

I bet this guy knew I was taking a photo of him.

So I proposed this weekend to this wonderful girl. A couple of head shots of her at the Aroma festival, sporting a sparkling gift...
