Skulking around the darkened grounds of monasteries isn’t exactly my idea of living it up on a Saturday evening, but there I was last weekend, up at the Sacred Heart Monastery in the Sydney suburb of Kensington, armed with my camera looking for photo opportunities.
I’ve been intrigued for some time by a floodlit building that I can see across the racecourse from my living room window, so I finally decided to trace the spectacle to its source.
The jaunt had the hallmarks of a c-grade horror movie though.
The overly quiet tree lined street the monastery is located on. The ground’s wrought iron gate complete with squeaky hinges. The dark, foreboding, stairs leading up to the front of the building.
It’s all in the name of art remember! Anyway there’s a couple of bigger images of the monastery on my Flickr page…
I could have told you that building was the SH monastery you dork! ;P What if the monks caught you skulking about their grounds hey? They might have locked you up in the dungeons in the basement ;P Spooky photos hey.
