We caught the train down to Sydney to attend the Cathedral yesterday. Waiting for the congregation to gather and the service to start. Won't be too long, the bells have started ringing.
@St Andrews Cathedral, Sydney
We crossed the border into Victoria cruising down a lovely timbered road before breaking into the rich dairy country of Gippsland. It is wonderful to see the land green after more than 10 years of very dry weather. But most of the state of Victoria is still drought declared. Musing: The Pasture by Robert Frost "I'm going out to clean the pasture spring; I'll only stop to rake the leaves away (And wait to watch the water clear, I may): I sha'n't be gone long. You come too. I'm going out to fetch the little calf That's standing by the mother. It's so young, It totters when she licks it with her tongue. I sha'n't be gone long. You come too."
Gothic arches galore in there!
ReplyDeleteThey do draw the eye upwards.
DeleteLovely architecture and stained windows.
ReplyDeleteI like the effect of stained glass but never contemplate the actual image.
DeleteThis cathedral looks, sadly, too big for its congregation.
ReplyDeleteActually all of those pews were full before the start of the service. The photo was taken 20-30 mins before the start. The bells start ringing a half hour before.
DeleteBeautiful light.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful light is always a photographers delight.
