[INSPIRATION] A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Sydney Opera House has dominated Sydney Harbour since 1973. Its famous white sails, designed by Danish architect Jørn Utzon, evoke both seashells and sailing ships. A bold design that combines elegance and modernity. The roof of the Sydney Opera House is often used as a giant canvas for spectacular lighting effects. Inside, each room has been designed to optimize acoustics. The Concert Hall, for example, was designed with white birch wood ceilings to maximize sound resonance. SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE, AUSTRALIA Architect: Jørn Utzon.

In the heart of Prague, the Lennon Wall stands as a living canvas of freedom, resistance, and hope. 🌈 After John Lennon's assassination in 1980, this unassuming wall became a place where people painted his lyrics, messages of peace, and their dreams for a better world. During the oppressive communist regime, it evolved into a symbol of quiet rebellion. Authorities would whitewash the wall, but the messages of hope and freedom would reappear overnight, mirroring the resilience of the human spirit. ✊ Post the Velvet Revolution of 1989, the wall transformed into a global symbol of creativity and freedom, where visitors continue to leave their mark. It’s not just art—it’s history, resistance, and a reminder that hope can never be silenced. 🎶 “You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one.” – Lennon’s words live on here. 📍 Lennon Wall, Prague Would you leave your message here? . . . #lenonwallprague #prague #travelphotography #walloffreedom #streetart #johnlennon #canon #50mm14 #500px

Some we love, some we wish we could forget...

[Hồ Con Rùa vs Hồ Cụ Rùa] [Turtle Lake in Ho Chi Minh City vs Lake of the Great Turtle in Hanoi] Turtle Lake (Hồ Con Rùa) is a prominent landmark in Ho Chi Minh City, nestled between District 1 and District 3—(but unfortunately, not in District 2). Similar to Hoàn Kiếm Lake (Lake of the Returned Sword or the Lake of the Great Turtle) in Hanoi, Hồ Con Rùa holds a special place in the hearts of city dwellers. It's a great gathering spot where: * Locals often share memorable moments, enjoying the legendary Trà Tắc (kumquat tea) while catching up with friends. * Tourists regard it as one of the best places to experience Café Bệt, a beloved Saigon tradition of enjoying coffee while sitting on the ground. * Some come here almost every night for a free dating site with their crushes and many years later come back as a married couple. * Some come to taste iconic Saigon street foods such as Bánh Tráng Trộn (mixed rice paper salad), Bắp Xào Bơ (stir-fried corn with butter), or Cút Lộn Xào Me (stir-fried baby quail eggs with tamarind sauce)… * And SO MANY visit to see “the Turtle”, then end up seeing nothing… P/S: There has never been a LIVE turtle in the lake. Before 1976, a large steel turtle statue stood at the center of the lake, but it was destroyed in an explosion that year. This is why locals commonly call it Turtle Lake, even though its official name is “Công Trường Quốc Tế” (‘International Square’ ).
