🏛️🌅 St. Mary’s Cathedral

Strolling past St. Mary’s Cathedral on a sun-drenched afternoon, I was met with a surprise—scaffolding swallowed the iconic spires! 😅 Turns out, it’s mid-annual renovation, where workers perched on metal frames resemble sci-fi characters in a desert-meets-cyberpunk film. 🤖💡 The juxtaposition of ancient stone and futuristic scaffolding? Pure magic! 🌄 Behind the Scenes Secrets This year, they’re replacing 12 vintage stained-glass windows—each a kaleidoscope of color and history. 🌈✨ I caught a restorer’s silhouette mid-work, their tools glinting like artifacts from a time-traveling workshop. 📸 💡 Sneak-peek photos? Priceless! 🌴 September Reopening Countdown Can’t wait for September when the cathedral reopens! Imagine sunlight streaming through brand-new windows, painting the nave in hues of gold and sapphire. 🌄💦 Until then, it’s a lesson in patience—and a reminder that even sacred spaces need a glow-up. 💡 Why It’s a Must-See Beyond the scaffolding drama, this is art in motion. 🌸✨ The blend of medieval craftsmanship and modern restoration tech feels like a dance between eras. 🌍 For architecture nerds and dreamers alike, it’s a peek into how we preserve beauty—one pane at a time.🤖💦 #CathedralMagic #CyberpunkSydney #ArtRestoration
