Sydney Opera House lights dimmed in tribute Utzon by Gino Iori

I was very sadden to hear that Joern Utzon, the Danish architect of my ( and many other people’s) favourite building died aged 90, from a heart attack at his home in Denmark on Saturday.

A memorial service will honour the architect in early 2009, but last the lights on its famous sails were dimmed between 8.30pm and 9.30pm.

So glad you took this!!!! Such a great man and a such a splendid monument to him, deserving of the unofficial title of the “8th Wonder of the World”.
