churches in dunedin


Churches in Dunedin have become very iconic due to the fact that it says a lot about our European settlement and heritage. i see these buildings also as a way for the architect/ creator to speak loudly about their presence on earth. Don't get me wrong I think they are fantastic sculptural forms and great to look at but I think in all churches and most religions its a case of being heard (or seen) as grand and powerful. For Dunedin these buildings hold their own uniqueness for being younger, built less than 150years old in comparrison to the majority in the mother land i'd imagine. It had become a strong tourist pull for Dunedin, 'The First City Tour' cruises round the city almost purely to look at the buildings. etc
