golden music by

The pipe organ in St John’s Anglican Church, Reid in the ACT is quite stunning to look at. Sitting in the organ loft at the rear of the church, it was installed in 1981, having been designed by Ronald Sharp, the creator of the organ in the Sydney Opera House.

As one of the finest organs in Canberra, it is popular with the School of Music Staff for practice and concert performances and was recently used in the RSCM (the Royal Society of Church Music – ACT branch) composition competition final performances.

About Jan Stead JEMproductions

An avid photographer, both still and moving, since I was 10 years old, I later discovered and developed a particular love of macro, which is now one of my main genres. More recently, however, my repertoire has broadened to include stained glass windows and rural & outback New South Wales, Australia, among other subjects.
I hope you enjoy the the beauty of creation, captured and presented here for you.

    i like the fade away to top of image. Gives some impression as to the size
    lovely shot and angle very good

  • Thank you John…so glad you like this shot. Neither the angle nor the fade away had anything to do with the photographer. I simply held the camera up from where I was sitting below and shot!!

    SUch a photogenic subject with wonderful lighting makes it easy..
    I’m looking forward to checking out the amazing organs you have in London, and elsewhere in the UK.!!
    Just wait till I upload some of them!!! This one will be such a baby by comparison..xxxx

    Majestic Jan. Like musical canines, with cavities full of sonic sensations!

  • Oh I always love you take on things and view of the visual. But somehow I don’t think I’ll change the title to ‘musical canines’. Much as I love it I don’t know that it would look good on such things as a lminated print or on the back of a card…but then maybe that’s just me!!

    THank you for your continued encouragement! You always (go ahead &) make my day…!..xxxx

    It is very beautiful :-)

  • THank you Tove. I’m thrilled you like this shot. I tried to tweak the colour so it wasn’t so yellow, but somehow it seemed wrong any other colour. Almost as if the golden pipes reflected and spread the colour throughout the church..xxxx

    This is gorgeous.

  • THank you Cheryl. I’m glad you like it. I do but wasn’t sure if it was suitable for putting up on Red Bubble. But I’m glad I did as others seem to appreciate it too..xx
