ARCHITECTURE 3

MORE EXCITING STRUCTURES OR BUILDINGS?? FROM LOUISIANA

INSIDE

OUTSIDE

THE OPERA HOUSE IN OSLO

QUITE AN ATTRACTION THIS BUILDING HAS BECOME,  DRAWN BY THE NORWEGIAN ARCHITECT-FIRM SNÖHETTA WHICH MEANS SNOWCAP!!!

AND THIS LOOKS LIKE A MIXTURE OF AN ICEBERG AND A BOAT.

I HAVE LOT OF SELFPORTRAITS NOW!

INTERESTING PICTURE WHERE YOU SEE THE INTERIOR, THE REFLECTION AND ALSO SEE THROUGH THE BUILDING.  A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO I TOOK A SIMILAR PICTURE WHICH WAS A SUCCESS  IN A PHOTO-
EXHIBITION I HAD.
