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.

Everyone laughed at me for going back around here to take a photo.

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.
