Architecture
A neo-Romanesque building with a flat pitched roof on the nave and the choir.
The tower corresponds to a style that is typical and common in Bavarian Swabia: tower base with a square layout, with one or more octagonal bell-shaped tops crowned by an onion dome. Through the work of master builders from Bavarian Swabia, several more church towers of this kind were built in Vorarlberg, for example in Bartholomäberg, Vandans, Partenen, Gortipohl, St. Gallenkirch and Bludenz (Laurentius church).
The church, which looks relatively simple and unattractive from the outside, surprises on the inside with its rich equipment of pictures and statues. It is one of the rare churches today, which are still held in a uniform manner in the Nazarene style of the late 19th and early 20th century.
The vaulted ceiling is made of wood and spans an arc of about 20 m from wall to wall, making St. Jodok one of the largest pillarless churches in Vorarlberg. The design of the organ housing took into account the rosette window in the west gable of the nave, which is particularly beautiful when exposed to sunlight.
Artists
Ceiling painting by Hans Bertle: "Meeting the Pope", "As Patron of the Country People" (1905-1907)
Saint George fighting the dragon, Konrad Honold
The decoration of the church is mainly done by the local artist family Bertle: So all wall and ceiling paintings of the choir room have been created by the brothers Franz (* 1828, † 1883) and Jakob Bertle (* 1837, † 1911) in the years 1873/74. The five large ceiling paintings and the ceiling pictures on the life of Saint Jodok in the nave were painted between 1905 and 1907 by Hans Bertle (* 1880, † 1943), the son of Jacob.
The main altar with its ciborium superstructure was created in 1873/74 by the brothers Anton (* 1834, † 1914) and Ignaz Bertle (* 1837, † 1894) according to the plans of Josef Müller. The ciborium from Sant'Ambrogio in Milan may have served as inspiration. The altar was erected in the center of the sanctuary above a shrine containing the relics of Saint Jodok.
The left side altar in the choir is a neo-Romanesque structure and equipped with figures by Moritz Schlachter. The left side altar in the choir shows a relief with the communion of St. Charles Barromäus.
The church windows in stained-glass windows were donated by local families at the end of the 19th century. They depict scenes from the life of Jesus and are complemented by medallions over the windows - also by Hans Bertle.
The Schruns artist and restorer Konrad Honold (* 1918, † 2007) designed in 1965 above the war memorial on the outer facade of the church a colored glass mosaic: It represents the St. George in the fight with the dragon.
Baustil
Ein neuromanischer Bau mit einem flachen Satteldach auf dem Langhaus und dem Chor.
Der Turm entspricht einem hauptsächlich in Bayrisch-Schwaben typischem und vielfach anzutreffendem Stil: Turmunterbau mit quadratischem Grundriss, darüber eines oder mehrere, achteckige Glockengeschosse, die von einer Zwiebelhaube gekrönt werden. Durch das Wirken von Baumeistern aus Bayrisch – Schwaben entstanden in Vorarlberg noch etliche weitere Kirchtürme dieser Art, bspw. in Bartholomäberg, Vandans, Partenen, Gortipohl, St. Gallenkirch und Bludenz (Laurentiuskirche).
Die von außen relativ schlicht und schmuckarm wirkende Kirche überrascht im Inneren durch ihre reiche Ausstattung mit Bildern und Statuen. Sie gehört heute zu den selten gewordenen Kirchen, die noch ganz einheitlich im Nazarenerstil des ausgehenden 19. und beginnenden 20. Jahrhunderts gehalten sind.
Das Deckengewölbe ist aus Holz und spannt sich in einem Bogen über ca. 20 m von Wand zu Wand, wodurch St. Jodok zu einem der größten pfeilerlosen Kirchenräume Vorarlbergs wurde. Die Gestaltung des Orgelgehäuses nahm Rücksicht auf das im Westgiebel des Kirchenschiffes befindliche Rosettenfenster, das besonders bei entsprechender Sonneneinstrahlung schön zur Geltung kommt.
Künstler
Deckengemälde von Hans Bertle: „Begegnung mit dem Papst“, „Als Patron der Landleute“ (1905–1907)
Der Heilige Georg im Kampf mit dem Drachen, Konrad Honold
Die Ausschmückung der Kirche ist überwiegend durch die heimische Künstlerfamilie Bertle geschehen: So sind sämtliche Wand- und Deckengemälde des Chorraumes von den Brüdern Franz (* 1828; † 1883) und Jakob Bertle (* 1837; † 1911) in den Jahren 1873/74 erstellt worden. Die fünf großen Deckengemälde und die Deckenbilder zum Leben des Heiligen Jodok im Langhaus wurden zwischen 1905 und 1907 von Hans Bertle (* 1880; † 1943), dem Sohn Jakobs, gemalt.
Der Hauptaltar mit seinem Ziboriumüberbau wurde 1873/74 von den Brüdern Anton (* 1834; † 1914) und Ignaz Bertle (* 1837; † 1894) nach den Plänen von Josef Müller geschaffen. Als Anregung mag dabei das Ziborium aus Sant’Ambrogio in Mailand gedient haben. Der Altar wurde im Zentrum des Altarraumes über einem Schrein mit den Reliquien des Heiligen Jodok errichtet.
Der linke Seitenaltar im Chor ist ein neuromanischer Aufbau und ausgestattet mit Figuren von Moritz Schlachter. Der linke Seitenaltar im Chor zeigt ein Relief mit der Kommunionsausteilung des Heiligen Karl Barromäus.
Die Kirchenfenster in Bleiverglasung wurden Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts von einheimischen Familien gestiftet. Sie stellen Szenen aus dem Leben Jesu dar und werden durch Medaillons über den Fenstern – ebenfalls von Hans Bertle – ergänzt.
Der Schrunser Künstler und Restaurator Konrad Honold (* 1918; † 2007) gestaltete 1965 oberhalb des Kriegerdenkmals an der Außenfassade der Kirche ein farbiges Glasmosaik: Es stellt den Heiligen Georg im Kampf mit dem Drachen dar.

In the hushed expanse of the northern Swedish forests, where the air is crisp and the spirit of the wilderness pervades, we find the saga of 'The Siblings of the Sylvan Expanse.' This portrait series captures the raw essence and serene lives of five sisters, their bond with the natural world, and the simple purity of a life lived with the land. Through the lens, each image invites us into a moment of their tranquil existence, where each smile, each glance tells a story of kinship, resilience, and the timeless dance with nature.
Poem:
In the heart of the woods, 'neath the watch of the pines,
Dwell sisters five, with the forest entwined.
Their laughter, a melody carried by wind,
In the land where the threads of their fates are spun thin.
In the silence, they speak of the snow and the sky,
Of the lark's morning song, of the night's soft sigh.
With hands woven tight, as their gazes meet,
They stand as one, where earth and heaven greet.
Haiku:
Birch whispers at dusk,
Sisters' smiles light the wild—
Hearts knit with the woods.
All the cool kids are doing it!

I spent a delightful Saturday with the Famous Flickr Five+ Group in Blackwood at the Garden of St Erth. As my first Famous Flickr Five+ excursion, I was just delighted by how kind and welcoming everyone was. I look forward to future trips to places I have never been (such as the garden of St Erth) with the Famous Flickr Five+ Group in the future.
In 1854 a Cornish stonemason named Matthew Rogers decided to pursue his luck in the goldfields around Mount Blackwood in Victoria, so he packed up his life in Sydney and journeyed south. His venture proved successful, as he became one of the gold rush's most successful miners.
In the 1860s, Matthew built a modest sandstone cottage from stone quarried from around Bacchus Marsh behind a boot factory in an area known as Simmonds Reef, just outside what was then the very busy and thriving gold mining community of Blackwood which at the time had a population of some 13,000 people. He named it "St Erth" after his Cornwall birthplace. The original title was dated 1867, but it is believed the house was built before then.
The sandstone cottage is typical of Victorian architecture found in Australia at that time. Built in Victorian Georgian style. It features a symmetrical facade of exposed sandstone brick with sash windows either side of the front door, all of which are characteristics of Victorian Georgian architecture. The shady verandah, today covered in curling wisteria vine, features elegant, slender posts, which is also typical of the architectural style, as is the medium pitch corrugated iron roof.
Matthew attached a wooden building to the western end of his neat stone cottage which served as the Blackwood post office for a time, and also a general store; both essential parts of the burgeoning community.
The gold rush lasted for twenty eight years. Matthew's daughter Elizabeth and her husband Jim Terrill continued to maintain the store, but as gold ran out, the wooden buildings of the town were moved to Trentham. For a time the house lay empty and the bush moved back in. Eventually it was bought by a group of Melbourne businessmen who called themselves the Simmons Reef Shire Council.
Today, "St Erth" is the Garden of St Erth; a wonderful garden featuring fruit trees, an espalier orchard, heirloom vegetables, perennials, daffodils, tulips, flowering shrubs and a plant nursery. The Garden of St Erth is one of two main sites in Victoria for the Diggers Club, who specialise in growing and selling heirloom variety plants and old fashioned exotic plants. The homestead forms the entry to the beautiful garden, as well as a shop showcasing the heritage seeds, gardening equipment and myriad gardening products in line with the Diggers Club's commitment to sustainable gardening. Outside there's a plant nursery with a wonderful array of trees and plants for sale. A pretty cafe offers drinks, cakes and meals indoors or out featuring where possible local produce and some sourced from the garden.
Matthew Rogers was born at St. Erth, Cornwall, on 11th June 1824, he arrived in Victoria in 1854 with his wife Mary, and came to Blackwood about 1855. Matthew and Mary Rogers were the wealthiest people in Simmons Reef. Matthew did well from his mine called "Mount Rogers Big Hill Mine". He is stated to have made a fortune out of ore that yielded one and a half pennyweights to the ton. Mary Ann Rogers was born in Hayle in Cornwall 24th June 1828. She looked after the store and the Post Office attached to the house. The Rogers had no children, and adopted a girl born in 1872, called Elizabeth. Mary Ann Rogers died on the 27th of August 1896, aged 68 years. Matthew Rogers died on the 6th of January 1902.
Nestled against the Wombat State Forest, the township of Blackwood was originally founded in 1855 during the Victorian gold rush. The township's post office was opened in September 1855, and was known as Mount Blackwood until 1921. The township has shrunk significantly since the gold rush ended, and today many of its properties are weekenders for Melbourne professionals. The town still has a main street featuring a post office and general store, a pub, a cafe and an antique shop. It still retains some of its original miners cottages beyond "St Erth". It is a quiet, sleepy town, and is a delightful retreat for some peace and quiet. Blackwood is perhaps best known today for its music and culture festival held in November. It attracts artists from across the world.

The Dudding Hill - Acton Wells Junction line sees comparatively little traffic but this Friday afternoon saw five trains pass here in an hour. Two of them are meeting here as 60 021 tows its dead sister back to South Humberside on the discharged aviation spirit tanks, while 66 007 is waiting behind the tree above the lead 60 for it's booked path on the 14.13 Elstow - Acton Yard.
No, this is not the pub in Newcastle with the same name; it is Hanko, Finland on a chilly January afternoon.

.... Pachi was the name of the mascot of the 2015 Pan American Games. The choice of mascot, whose design was based on that of a porcupine, an animal found in all 41 countries competing at the Games. There are 41 stylized conical spines on Pachi's back: one for every country participating in the Games. The spines are one of five colours, each of the five representing a quality the Games are said to endorse: youth, passion, collaboration, determination, and creativity.
