During Holy Week and Easter we enter into the drama of salvation. The shadow of death stretches over us; we know the desolation of Good Friday; we wait through Easter Saturday until the light of the Easter fire is kindled. Then the doors of death that slammed shut on Good Friday are torn open at the Easter vigil and light and noise and rejoicing lift us off the ground……more->.

I didn’t go to the church for religious purposes but it makes for a damn good photo. We had a walk around inside at like 11:30pm and were surprised to find people wandering about. The lighting was really dim so it had a creepy feel to it as we spotted some dude in a black cape walk passed. I wish I went inside the church last year when I was doing the ancient architecture course as the church featured the construction techniques that we learnt about.

The photo for this week was taken on the breakwall alongside Newcastle foreshore and Knobby’s Beach. It is a popular pathway for both young, old, prams, bikes or those people who feel inclinded to jog. I noticed this little sign painted on the tarmac and thought it was a bit more interesting than the usual scenic landscape shot although the pelican photo is pretty awesome as well…
