Cronulla, Stella Maris chapel

 
The Stella Maris chapel is on the corner of Coast Avenue and Ingalara Avenue in the southern suburb of Cronulla. It is part of an aged care facility which has views of the ocean. Stella Maris is Latin for "Star of the Sea". The chapel features a prominent star in a hole in the brickwork of the facade, revealing the sky behind it.

  3. What a peaceful spot. I love the idea of the star in the brickwork framing the sky. It feels so symbolic and serene. The ocean view must make it even more special. Did you get a chance to explore the garden around the chapel too?

  4. Lovely landscaping and beautiful blue sky. The starburst reminds me of the Palmetto symbol of our United States state of South Carolina.
