Everyone laughed at me for going back around here to take a photo.
But behind the amphitheater the metal skin of Frank Gehry's Walt Disney Concert Hall is mirror-like. I think this is what is left of the surface that had to be matted down because it was reflecting sunlight and overheating the surrounding buildings.

Well, then: I'm glad you're pretty much impervious to being laughed at.
If you have not been to Sydney, I hope you get there sometime so you can get up close photos of the opera house. I found it so fascinating at the point I could walk up to and photograph and touch the tiles that cover it. It is far more interesting than I had imagined. If I had only had a fish eye lens.
Overheating the surrounding buildings was bad; blinding the passing drivers was worse.
