Saturday, June 2: The Weekly Photo Challenge for this week is Today! This week’s theme is a bit different (but you like that, don’t you?) – it’s about TODAY. This day. The day you’re reading and reacting to this post. No rules or guidance on what to post other than the photo must be taken today! Don’t cheat, don’t go into your photo archives on your computer, don’t link to an old post. Get your camera out, right now, and snap a picture to share with everyone!
Today, I went to the U.S. Embassy to get more pages for my passport (See my previous post Six Word Saturday). Afterwards, I had lunch at Hot Pot & Grills at the Bareet Al Shatti Mall, then I walked next door, in the 46 degree Celsius heat (115 F), to the Royal Opera House. I’ve been wanting to get some good daytime pictures of the gorgeous Royal Opera House, but alas, I’ve been there only at night. I’ve passed by it many times while I’ve been in Muscat, but I’ve never taken the time to stop and take pictures of the building and gardens in sunlight. So here is today: a lunch of shrimp tempura and the Royal Opera House and its gardens.

Pretty place
Thank you Randy! I’m glad I finally took some pictures of it in daylight.
Lovely photos. I can feel the heat in the shot of the Royal Opera House!
Thank you Elaine! You’re lucky you can just feel it by sight instead of by experience…
excellent work
Thank you Jake!!
Love the Opera House!I believe it is a wonderful fusion of ethnic architecture with modern technology!
Yes, I think you’re right Madhu. It’s really a beautiful building!!
