Sydney Opera House at dawn - a photo on Flickriver

I had one brief night in Sydney and on a whim, got up in time to catch the opera house as the sun was rising. It was amazing!! I ONLY shot about 300 pictures of it... See another view here: www.flickr.com/photos/37313642@N00/453847016/

Note: this photo has not really had 87,000 views - it was probably one of the photos targeted by an automatic attack on flickr as it was getting over 1,000 hits per hour for a few days...
