Sydney Opera House, any ordinary day

An unremarkable photo of the Sydney Opera House, taken in 2018 on a Fujifilm X-T20, between a day-time wine commitment and a night-time wine commitment.

I’ve long had a fascination for unremarkable photos. The Sydney Opera House is never unremarkable, and the fact that there’s a fire somewhere on the north side of Sydney adds a little to the image. My favourite type of unremarkable image is the “casual crowd” kind. The long shadows here, the bright afternoon light, the people taking photographs, the general scatter and the impression that this is any ordinary day in the life of one of the world’s most remarkable sites; these are the reasons I like this image.
