Title: Opera House High Jinks

The one with the crowd, the one without the crowd, or neither?

The one with the crowd for sure! Very nice.

The one with the crowd tells a story and organizes more good stuff than the crop version.  It orgaizes things for me narratively, but visually the light doesn't make much sense to me.  I could likely suspend disbelief in the dark sky more easily if it were not for the bright shadows of the opera house.

Horrid abomination of a building.  Completely unsuited for the purpose for which it was built.  I long for the day that a strong wind gets into the sails and it heads off down the harbour and out through the Heads, never to be seen again.

What was the event that they trotted out the fly past?

The visit of the Tall Boats - a great occasion in the harbour, Walter.

My preference is for the crowd version, Bruce variant.

Thanks for jogging my memory Seamus,

I tend to ignore or avoid these events.

Cheers,
