Jacaranda Cathedrals

The masters of bygone devotions have nothing on the suburban spectacular of the Jacaranda Cathedral.

As the summer begins, straightened streets bend to the beauty of the stray jacaranda, a crowning glory bedecking the roadside.

A towering majesty, fashioning fleeting reverence, lifting prayer petals to the heavens.

A cloak of papal purple thrown down, restoring regal splendour to the everyday footfall.

A momentary exhalation of all that is wild in the world, and then, in the anarchic unravel of a year travelling to its end, the reclamation of presence.
