hahaha... cheers Rondo G-man, the pics are all taken with my own fair hand... no tripod or anyfin

We didn't get any pics of the Synagogue; it felt inappropriate to ask, but heres a few others.

Renfield St Stephen's.
This church had its steeple blown down a few years back... act of god! but has now been fully restored.
The steeple fell from this end


To this end! It destroyed the roof, the floor, the organ, the pews... need I go on!?


The silver-ware survived tho! The wee wooden cross in the middle is actually made from the smashed up pews


Another relic...

St Aloysius

Beautiful church although half of the interior is covered in scaffold. You can just see a wee glimpse of whats waiting to be uncovered


Temporary altar


St Ignatious


There are a few stained glass windows to say the least, heres one of them

St Andrews Cathedral

An impressive building but surprisingly bland on the inside... quite dark too



Jesus (he died fo our sins).......................... Mary (she wept for them)



Small gate... with DO NOTs all around it..............The Vatican Seal

Following on from young Crispy's photographs (us auld yins don't move as fast), here are some from me, "the relic of reason" ...

Above the altar of St Andrew's RC Cathedral in Clyde Street

Following in His footsteps? At Adelade's Pitt Street/ Bath Street

Now that my home help's in, I can post some more church pictures.

Here's the modern "stained glass" in the chapel of Renfield St Stephen's in Bath Street



And here's the more traditional stuff above the altar in the church itself



Make up your own joke. This sign - along with nine other "thou shalt not" commandments - was spotted in St Andrew's RC Cathedral ...

While I'm waiting for the kettle to boil for my Horlicks, three more photies, this time all of the St Vincent Street Free Church, designed by "Ecky the Greek" Tamson.

The fabulous steeple, reflected (and a bit refracted)



The north front, au naturale



The west front, reflected (did someone say "rule of thirds"?)



Right, that's my bedtime.
