This is a photo of the Sydney Opera House - also a World Heritage Site, as seen from my hotel room at the Sydney Harbour Marriott at Circular Quay.
The views from the other side of the bay, the Admiralty House, are spectacular, as can be seen from so many other photos of the building. As seen from the hotel, the photo can only hint at the marvelous beauty of this structure.
And this is the room from where I took the photo of the Opera House. The room's not bad at all, but then, it's like any other good hotel room.
I shot this photo below, again from the hotel room, at about 6AM local time. As you can see, while it was supposed to be summer (middle of November) - because in the southern hemisphere November is summer, but the skies were overcast, there was nary a trace of the sun, and there was a strong hint of rain in the evening. Which is just as well. I did not have any time to even step out of the hotel and do sightseeing, so this suited me just fine. It would have been awful to have been inside an office while the weather outside was warm, sunny, and inviting.
