Great shots mate. Particularly impressed by number 3 and the way you have captured the church roof. Looks like a kaleidoscope. 
Have I been to this one with you? Can't remember.
"the instrument is extremely well equipped possessing no less than six reed stops. It has many individual ranks of great beauty and its choruses have a satisfying tonal blend, with all the warmth and brilliance of the best English tradition. Further, its voicing makes for remarkable contrapuntal clarity over its entire compass."
The person who penned the above must certainly have been a wine connoisseur.  |
Gday Rick!
Don't think you've been to this one with me, maybe with Darrel?
How boring can tuning pipe organs be...zzzzzzzz..NEXT!
Not so sure about the finer points but, very well constructed. Relatively easy to crawl around and maintain. Holds its tune quite well

I like no 2. showing floor detail right up to the roof !!
Your job would certainly get you around to some interesting places.  |
Thanks Peter
I'm very lucky. A good proportion of these old churches remain pretty much unmolested from when they were originally constructed. An increasing rare link to our convict past. Coming from a construction back ground, one can only marvel the skill and workmanship from a time when everything was done by hand, something you don't see anymore.

He does a great job - as does the church - to provide a place of shelter and fellowship in what can be a pretty lonely CBD.

G'day Rod.
Putting religion aside, I don't think the general public have much idea on the level that these organizations contribute to society.
