Opera Facade Opera Facade

This is the side of the Opera House in Vienna. It looks/is taken pretty flat, but it is actually a right settings with lots of depth... I like the light red pop/contrast to the window treatment. The fountain also has some pretty rich detail...

Interesting what a new fountain can do to create a perception of old ;))

That's a new fountain? Wow!
They really know how to maintain that 18th and 19th century look, don't they?

That burgundy trim on the window really makes the contrast in this photo snap. Great shot.

I said the new part half jokingly - referring to the Viennese tourism efforts of constantly renewing/rennnovating everything...I will correct the text above :)))

Beautiful shot. The symmetry is perfect and I love the effect on the windows.
