Sydney Architecture Images- St. Andrew’s Anglican Cathedral St Andrew's Cathedral is one of the finest Gothic-revival church buildings in New South Wales and is the pre-eminent church building within the Sydney Anglican Diocese. The building represents the aspirations of the Colony and was the focus of much of Sydney life both during and after its construction. The completion of the Cathedral building was a major achievement for both the church and the City of Sydney. Early Construction 1811-c.1874 The Cathedral was planned by Governor Macquarie to be an impressive Gothic building in the centre of Sydney within a large square which would contain major civic buildings. Macquarie's vision has since been realised with the construction of the cathedral and later the Town Hall. It is clear that Macquarie intended the building to be a cathedral and for it to be located in the centre of Sydney. Early planning and construction was haphazard. In October 1850 six bishops of Australasia met in Sydney for a conference.

Columbus was a mapmaker who believed that Europeans could reach the Orient more efficiently by ocean travel than across land. By the mid-to-late 1400’s, Europeans began to build sturdier ships than before, and Portugal’s Henry the Navigator was among the first to apply the direction-finding principles of Ptolemy, the ancient astronomer, to long-distance sea voyages. As a prominent seafaring nation, Portugal initially appeared to be the best possible site where Columbus could raise money for shipbuilding.

Cathedral History Background Situated above busy Town Hall Railway Station, St Andrew’s Cathedral is in the heart of Sydney. A popular tourist attraction, next to Sydney’s Town Hall, it is also a key evangelical church for overseas and interstate visitors. The Cathedral is the central gathering place for Diocesan events, being the “seat” of the Archbishop of Sydney. These events draw large numbers of people together from our many parishes. The wider community of Sydney also enjoy coming to the Cathedral for special occasions. And yet for all the grand occasions, the Cathedral is also a great place to come for weddings. Even in the midst of a busy city, there are times when the Cathedral can be a place to sit quietly and pray and think. St Andrew’s Cathedral School has a close association with the Cathedral as well, since it was first established as a school for the Cathedral choir. The Cathedral continues to be the centre of much of the Christian celebrations in the city throughout the year. Architecture

Unusual Night in Nature Two French hotel/camp, Attrape Reves in Bouches-du-Rhone (near Marseille) and Sky River near Loir-et-Cher, are the places where you can sleep under the stars. Concept of sleeping in balloons are designed by French designer Pierre Stefan, wanting to create an environmentally friendly space: when a plastic bubble pack, the area remains almost intact. Balloons are small and cozy, their diameter is about four meters. Some are completely transparent, while others provide a little more privacy. Of course, if you want comfort that provides, for example, “Ric”, these unusual balloons are probably not for you. Sleeping under the stars gets a new meaning in the unusual “camps” in France – visitors are accommodated in nature under the open sky.

Where is Anne Boleyn Buried? “Intelligence, Spirit and Courage” A True and Exact Draught of the TOWER LIBERTIES, survey'd in the Year 1597 by GULIELMUS HAIWARD and J. GASCOYNE. On the morning of May 19 1536, Anne Boleyn went bravely to her death in a private execution at the Tower of London. It took only one stroke of the executioner’s sword to sever her delicate neck, the very same neck that the poet Thomas Wyatt had once praised as ‘fair’ in one of his admiring verses. Anne’s head was covered in a white cloth and carried by one of her ladies. Although only a short while ago Anne had been Queen, loved and desired by a King, no provision had been made for a proper coffin. Chapel Royal St Peter ad Vincula Anne’s women carried her body approximately 65 metres (Ives, Pg. 359) to the royal chapel of St Peter ad Vincula, passing the newly filled graves of Norris, Weston, Brereton and Smeaton, and buried her in the earth beneath the chancel pavement in an unmarked grave (Weir, Pg. 273).
