Ever since I took
these pictures last year of
St. George's Cathedral I've wanted to come back and take some shots inside. Yesterday I had the perfect opportunity, a friend rang to say that the cathedral was hosting
Roses & Raiment a festival of flowers and vestments. It's a very pretty cathedral build in the Gothic revival style with handmade bricks, bluestone pillars from Victoria, Oregon pine ceilings, the pulpit is carved in Caen stone from France and the marble reredos behind the alter were made in Italy with English alabaster inserts. The delicate black wrought ironwork entrance to the vestry is stunning. It looked even more lovely with the many floral arrangements created by the ladies who volunteer and look after their church, watching them glow with pleasure at the oohs and aahs, I could imagine this scene echoed in churches all around the world. I have the windows and organ to show you another day, so for now happy Sunday, take care. p.s. don't you just love the dear little lady who decided to have a wee rest in the choir pit in the third shot, we had a lovely chat after I took this shot.....
