A statue at St.Patricks Cathedral. A native of Siena, Catherine received no formal education. At the age of four she consecrated her virginity to Christ despite her family’s opposition. Her parents wanted her to live a normal life and marry, but against her parent’s will, she dedicated her life to praying, meditating and living in total solitude into her late teens. At the age of eighteen, she took the habit of the Dominican Tertiaries. / Catherine’s letters are considered one of the great works of early Tuscan literature. / She lived in Rome until her death in 1380. / Catherine died of a stroke at the age of thirty-three, and was at the same age in which Jesus Christ had died.. / Click here to see more of St.Patricks Cathedral.

A church, in Melbourne.
Looking at St Paul’s Cathedral from the North side. St Paul’s Cathedral is in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. 3 handheld exposures were HDR’d in Photomatix and then went crazy in Lightroom :) St Paul’s Cathedral is built on the site where the first public Christian services in Melbourne were led by Dr Alexander Thomson in 1836. Soon afterwards a small wooden chapel was built elsewhere, and the area became a corn market until 1848, when it was made available for the building of the bluestone St Paul’s Parish Church. Consecrated in 1852, that was used until 1885, when it was demolished to make way for the present Cathedral. The decision to build on the site of the existing church was made because of its proximity to the railway and soon to be completed cable tramway service. The Swanston Street and Flinders Street corner remains one of Melbourne’s busiest intersections today, ensuring the Cathedral a place at the heart of city life. / The Architectural style of the Cathedral is described as Gothic transitional, being partly Early English and partly Decorated. It was designed by the distinguished English architect William Butterfield, who was noted for his ecclesiastical work, and the foundation stone was laid in 1880. Butterfield steadfastly refused to visit Melbourne and the building program was beset with all the problems that arise from management by remote control. He resigned from the project briefly in 1882 and finally in 1884, and the building was completed under the supervision of Joseph Reed, who designed many of Melbourne’s public buildings. Nonetheless, St Paul’s remains Butterfield’s final masterpiece. On 22 January 1891 the Cathedral was consecrated, but it was not the building we see today. The erection of the spires did not begin until 1926, and then to the design of John Barr of Sydney rather than using the original design of an octagonal central tower and gable west end towers of Butterfield. In the 1960s there was extensive work carried out on the exterior, and in 1989 a major National Trust appeal to enable the restoration of the Cathedral’s magnificent organ. It is acknowledged as the finest surviving work of T. C. Lewis, one of the greatest English organ builders of the second half of the nineteenth century. / St Paul’s enjoys a long tradition of the musical excellence, and is one of the very few Anglican Cathedrals outside the British Isles to have a Choral Evensong on Sundays and most weeknights. Organ recitals are an integral part of Cathedral life, as are other music recitals, drama and art exhibitions. / The Cathedral also has one of the few peals of thirteen bells outside the British Isles, and they are a regular feature of Wednesday evening in Melbourne, when the bell ringers may be heard practising from 6.30pm to 9.00pm. The Cathedral is definitely one of Melbourne’s most dominate features! Click here for my other images of Melbourne
Discovered these amazing carvings located at St Patricks in Melbourne at each end of arched doorways. The detail was excellent and they looked like they were on duty. It would be great to hear what they would have seen over the years….

From Wikipedia: The cathedral’s pipe organ which was built by T. C. Lewis and Co of Brixton, England. Over six and half thousand pounds were spent on its construction, shipping and installation before it was played at the cathedral’s opening in 1891. Various modifications and maintenance works have been carried out since then, culminating in a $726,000 restoration which was completed in 1990 with the help of a National Trust appeal. In its restored state the organ has four manuals with 44 stops and pedals with nine stops, all with electro-pneumatic action. It is housed in the cathedral’s south transept behind newly-stencilled facade pipes.

St Michael’s is a unique church in the heart of the city. It is not only unique for its relevant, contemporary preaching, but for its unusual architecture. The church externally is one of Melbourne’s landmarks. Internally, everyone is struck by its unusual quiet beauty. The bicentennial windows are a rare expression of visual theology – the largest display of existential-religious stained glass in the Southern Hemisphere.

St Paul’s Cathedral Melbourne / (Victoria, Australia) / St Paul’s was designed by William Butterfield (except for the spires) and built in a revival of the style known as Gothic transitional, being partly Early English and partly Decorated. The foundation stone was laid in 1880. and the cathedral was consecrated in 1891. The organ, acknowledged as the finest surviving work of TC Lewis, was imported from England. (Information from Wikipedia). / I walked in just as the organ was playing and then had a brief chat to the assistant organist, as he turned out to be, as he was about to leave – he said this organ was still one of the highest regarded organs in the world. I’m sure he knew what he was talking about as he was no mean player. / The architect died during the cathedral’s construction, and the cathedral spires were separately designed and added after the the rest of the cathedral was completed. / / (ref fotoWERNER 3H0906.6838) / Nikon D300 with Nikon 12-24DX and perspective correction / 5sec at f/20 ISO 200 / Sales History: 1 x medium size framed print sold on RB (unknown buyer) /

Melbourne Wedding day /
This shot was taken in early 2007, near the altar of one of Melbourne’s oldest churches. I was drawn to the fact that there were only three candles in the seven metal stands …. and then I paid closer attention to the beautiful hand-crafted work of the entire framework. The composition was dictated by the need to highlight the interesting design, as well as the added challenge of capturing the reflection of all three candles in the central bronze pole. It’s also interesting, in retrospect, to look at the core of the flames and to note that the central glow in the first two (where the wicks are bent) do not match that of the candle on the extreme right, where the wick is upright. I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot without a tripod, using a Pentax K100D fitted with a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F5.6, 1/30 sec, ISO 800, focal length 125mm.
