St. Andrews Cathedral monitors

St. Andrews Cathedral monitors

I have entered St. Andrews cathedral recently and stood there very bewildered for a long while. There were LCD monitors installed on the cathedral columns. It felt so wrong. I know its 21st century and technology is everywhere but somehow these plastic LCD monitors installed on the sandstone columns looked ugly and out of place.

Sydney and Australia in general does not have a lot of old buildings. This is after all a very young country. So, scaring the very few buildings that are of historical and cultural significance with perhaps useful but otherwise ugly modern items, seems, well for a better word sacrilegious.

Brand new day

Sunrise over Narara Valley

Sometimes you just have to get out of bed early to be welcomed to the new day by a mesmerising sunrise like this one. It sets a good mood for the rest of the day.
