St Andrew's Anglican Church, located on the corner of Smith Street and Henson Street, dominates the skyline of Summer Hill. This sandstone and brick church was designed by Alexander Leckie Elphinstone Junior with the foundation stone laid in 1883 and the spire completed in 1906. I was lucky enough to get a bit of blue sky in this shot because those clouds rolled in so quickly that it was completely overcast within minutes.Click here to view all participants of Skywatch Friday

What a beautiful summer sky! (this is koala)
ReplyDeleteNot only the clear blue sky but the church is so crisp and clean looking. Strangely powerful image.
ReplyDeleteLeif, it's often hard to get the chance or permission to photograph inside churches. I'll keep it mind for the future though.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful building, beautiful light, beautiful colors. You did great!
ReplyDeleteOh that church is sooo pretty.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous Church! And a gorgeous capture! Such beautiful blue skies -- glad you caught them when you did!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful sky and church! Great photo!
ReplyDeleteOur sky is doing that this week - changing quickly.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you reckon: Sydney has more pubs or more churches?
Very pleasing shot :)
ReplyDeleteThis I do... | Follow Me
Julie, it's a toss up. I think there are certainly more pubs as you get closer to the city but maybe more churches as you venture further out in the suburbs.
ReplyDeleteGreat capture of a beautiful church and a wonderful summer sky.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful church, nice shot
ReplyDeleteI like the contrasting colors the yellowish church and the bluish sky, great combination! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteRomantic Sunset
Hasn't the blue sky and sunshine been lovely over the past couple of days ... they say the showers are going to be back on the weekend through.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful church and beautiful sky.
ReplyDeleteThe church is really beautiful! To Leif Hagen: Inside it is beautiful too! Worth a visit to see the lovely church interior! Shame the Anglicans plan to sell the lovely original wooden pews as per the note on the door this week!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo, Jim. The church is practically an archetype.
ReplyDeleteBuilding with an old architecture is always a nice subject to see.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and also thanks for stopping by Unbiased Exposure
Thanks for sharing, take more photos while the weather's great. :)
ReplyDeleteSuch warm tones in the church's architecture ...perfect for a place named 'Summer Hill.'

As Leif wrote, how about interior view?
ReplyDelete(«Louis» likes church architecture.)
So enjoying looking around your city, but am amazed by the lack of people. Either you're incredibly patient or Sydney is really quite empty.
ReplyDeleteYou did a beautiful shots. I love the church design.
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend!!!
Beautiful shot - how lucky you were with the clouds. Summer Hill looks such a pretty, clean place.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful church! And its pale yellow color is wonderful against that blue sky.
ReplyDeleteRob Inukshuk, I certainly am patient. I wait around for the right moment when there aren't any or many people around to get that perfect shot.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing church and lovely cumulus clouds in a brilliant blue sky!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful contrast, the blue sky and that beautiful old church.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend!
What a pretty, pretty church. I like all of these "Summer Hill" building posts.
ReplyDeleteIt is an amazing church building, and it was built to try to capture the glory and magnificence of God.
ReplyDeleteYou should come inside and hear a message about Jesus by far which overshadows a mere building.
