Concerning message #16073:

Bill,
Thanks so much for putting a name to a face (so to speak)! This query has been on my mind constantly for days, and it is a great relief to be at ease, and categorize/name my vacation photos!
p.s Yes! it does have a strikingly resemblance to Sydney Opera House! I wonder where Architect Jorn Utzon got his inspiration from, Hmmm?

Dear Dawn,
The official view is that Utzon's inspiration was the spinnaker sail of yachts - but we know better.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
