This rather impressive building can be found at 27 Saints Rd, Salisbury Plain. A relatively new building, the St Dimitrios Greek Orthodox Church’s foundation stone was blessed by ‘His Eminence The Arch Bishop Of Australia Stylianos’ on the 15th Of January 1989.

I also took a photo of one of its windows.

I thought it was pretty cool the way the reflection of the clouds gave the appearance that the Madonna and Child Jesus actually appeared amongst the clouds.
For those of you who are Interested St. Dimitrios’s feast day is on 26th October, and in case you want to get in touch with someone at the church, the number is (08) 8250 5222

I took this photo on a particularly fine day when the family and I were visiting Hazelwood Park in the city of Burnside.

I particularly like the photo because of the many colored leaves. Hazelwood Park is a beautifully lush park that is frequented my many families for picnics, barbecues, sport or just to stroll around.

While I have you here I would like to quickly introduce my latest blog, WassupBlog, which I hope will also entertain many a reader.

This is a photo of the Ukrainian Autocephalic Orthodox Church Parish Of St. Michael.

This quite unique looking building is located on Port Rd, just left of South Rd as your heading towards Elizabeth. The cross just to the right of the picture is dedicated to “To The Memory Of More Than Seven Million Ukrainians Who Died During The Artificial Famine Organised By The Russian Communist Regime In Ukraine 1932-1933″

Pelicans Congregating At American River

I took this shot while I was at American River which is located on Kangaroo Island. I was actually surprised to see the black swan there. While it was quite awhile ago, the only thing that I remember about American River was the peace and tranquility of the place and the fact that there wasn’t much to eat there except fish and chips.

Apart from the pelicans and swans American River is teeming with other bird life including the ibis and the rare glossy black cockatoo. Because there is so much other wildlife in the area you, more likely that not, may even see some wallabies, possums and echidnas roaming around.

If you are heading that way perhaps you would like to stay at the Golden Chain Motels where I hear that the restaurant serves a whole lot more than just fish-n-chips!

Tabor Lutheran Church In Tanunda Barossa Valley

Tanunda is a picturesque town found in beautiful Barossa Valley, South Australias premier wine district. Located only 70km from Adelaide it is well worth the trip out. Most people that visit the area love to take the winery tour where they can taste some of the best wines in Australia.

The Tabor Lutheran Church located on Murray Street (the main street of town) is really quite remarkable. You will notice an orb on the top of the 26 meter spire and it is said that the orb actually holds some old church records. The church dates back from 1849 and as you can see from the photo, it has quite a bit of character.
