Winter is for Culture

Being winter we have dedicated the next 5 weekends to cultural events of some sort.

Weekend 1:
Waiting for Godot @ Sydney Opera House.
World Press Photo 2010 @ NSW State Library

Waiting for Godot is a play by Samuel Beckett


Sir Ian McKellen (Gandalf - Lord of the Rings) and Roger Rees were very impressive in their roles.



"The annual World Press Photo contest is at the core of the organization's activities. It offers an overview of how press photographers tackle their work worldwide and how the press gives us the news, bringing together pictures from all parts of the globe to reflect trends and developments in photojournalism.

World Press Photo of the Year
Pietro Masturzo
