The Sydney opera house is a wonder of architectural innovation and achievement. It pioneered a new method of building and remains one of the most distinctive buildings in the world. It was ranked in the top 20 finalists for the Seven Wonders of the World competition in 2007, thus proving that it is at the very least better than all but 19 other things. Plus, it draws its inspiration from the design of a series of interlaced seashells, with a roof that gleams and shines like the inside of a particularly beautiful oyster shell (see supporting photo). This homage to the sea tugs at the heart of all creatures that make the sea their home.

Not to mention, it is especially beautiful in the early morning sun, as seen across the harbor.
