St. Johns Lutheran Church..



While chatting over lunch yesterday with mon ami français Marie I mentioned that on my travels I often come across lovely old churches in the most unexpected places, many surrounded on all sides by residential, business and other modern premises.. 'Ah oui' says she 'but remember how different their surroundings would have been when they were originally built' :) One such church in Northbridge surrounded by Central TAFE buildings is St. Johns Lutheran Church, the exterior walls built using stone from the Darlington quarries in the Perth hills. The door was open, next time I will go in! Hope your week has started well, happy Tuesday, take care and stay safe..

    I appreciate when people go to the trouble of finding and using local stone.

    I like the stone fan above the cross. The stone is very red.

    The "bricks" are amazing, Grace. Take what you get or was it on purpose back then?
    Great shots again, for sure! Beautiful lightning.

    In answer to your query on my post - It is the vintage of the car that is famous and spectators are clicking away at the vintage beauty :)

    Charming church indeed. I saw a few small churches in Adelaide that had been sold and turned into residential property, and I wish I could also buy one.
