Been trying hard to upload the picture of the Sydney Opera House without success.
It took me a long time to upload the picture of the Sydney Opera House.The magnifcient archictectural builing is one of my favourite wonders of the world. I was so happy I was able to touch its remarkable roof. The roofs of the House are covered with over one million special tiles.
