April 29, 2009 - St. Andrews church

St. Andrews Church

I’ve posted about St. Andrew’s Church before, including shots of the face details on the sides of the buildings, and the moss covered gravestone of Charles Avison.

I like to imagine that this is what a vampire might see as he rips his way through the earth to find his first victim. :P

I don’t know why my brain is insisting on being creepy, but I recall someone saying that after it rains, you can sometimes find bones that have drifted up out of the dirt. These are supposed to be the remains of witches who were denied proper burial. Touching one of their bones is supposed to bring bad luck in love. Typical scare story.

It’s located in the city centre, just around from the new city library. This shot was taken last summer.

April 28, 2009 - Earthquake

I’m cheating. It’s not my day today, else I’d just add this bit at the bottom. But I had ask if anyone else in Newcastle/surrounding area felt the earthquake this morning? I didn’t, but other people in my building did. But I can’t find any mention of anyone else feeling it from so far away.

Check out my blog for what happened.
