But when I began sorting photos I realized that it would be a long post with 20+ piccies.
I will do it as a post (or maybe two or three) before too long because I think it is really worth sharing.
But tonight it is late and I have to hit the hay for an early start tomorrow.
So instead a very quick post about what Deb and I did today.
We drove to Woodend in the Macedon ranges west of Melbourne today.
Woodend is one of many Gold-Rush era towns in Victoria.
In the gardens the daffodils think spring is already here.
What really caught my attention was the 1864 St Mary’s Anglican Church.
The church was open so I went in to capture shots of the amazing stained glass windows that grace the church. I’ve never managed to capture good shots of stained glass before so I am happy with these.
Here are a few samples.
And of course St Mary herself.
One thing that caught my eye was this candle in front of this very Orthodox looking icon image.
I just had to play around to see how well I could catch the candle in the dim light.

Lovely! You should do a coffee table book of your photos. Call it "Al's Australia," or something like that. :)
What a most lovely Church - love your shots of the stained glass windows and candle - it must have been very dark inside!!
