St Peter's end

Naturally I attended the final Stage of the TDU today held in the city of Adelaide. The stage loops around the northern end of Adelaide and runs right along side the southern and northern sides of Adelaide Oval known world wide by serious Cricket followers as one the worlds finest cricket grounds. The northern end is often referred to as The Cathedral End. The Cathedral is St Peter's Cathedral and the image above is a close up of the rear end of the side that faces the oval and to which the cricket commentators refer to.
It was a hard choice for today because I have taken 100 photos and had narrowed my choice down to three candidates. My daughter suggested this image. I would have chosen another.

The first Bishop of Adelaide, Augustus Short purchased about an acre of land (4,000 square metres), at the corner of King William Road and Pennington Terrace North Adelaide, on 8 August 1862. In 1868 Bishop Short announced his decision to begin construction of a cathedral. Bishop Short contracted William Butterfield to design the cathedral however the long communication gap between England and Adelaide caused some issues and disagreements. Butterfield's plans were purchased and given to Edward John Woods, of Adelaide architectural firm Wright, Woods and Hamilton, for completion. Woods was strongly influenced by French architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, and had imbued a French Gothic character in his design. Bishop Short laid the foundation stone on St Peter's Day 1869. Construction progressed slowly with the first service being held in the incomplete Cathedral on St Peter's day 1876. Synod meetings and regular services began in May 1877.
