The Church of The Good Shepherd, Tekapo, NZ
I was pleased to get this shot minus tourists - it does not happen often.
Minutes after I took this a Japanese wedding party arrived, making a lovely sight. I was tempted to get a few shots but respected their privacy. I was told that wedding parties sometimes come from Japan just for the photo shoots, having already had the ceremony in their own country.
The church was built as a memorial to the pioneers of the Mackenzie Country, the foundation stone laid by HRH the Duke of Gloucester, on January 15, 1935. The builders were instructed that the site was to be left undisturbed, including the matagouri bushes, (the very thorny shrub that can be seen to the right of the building). Rocks already on wall lines had to remain and stones for the wall were to be gathered within a radius of five miles , and be left in their natural condition.

I can understand why people would come here for the photo opportunities. The stonework is amazing and the natural setting is quite beautiful. The old church is a wonderful memorial.
This is a great shot, LynEve. Taken at a nice angle, with a lovely foreground, the church looks terrific against that cerulean blue sky. Well done!

Lyn - I have seen photos of this church, but none with the clarity and vibrancy of this one. I appreciate the narrative, as understanding the history enriches the image. Thad

It is quite lovely a little church and the scene is most appealing. They must have some really scenic places in Japan I would think. Love your angle on this.

This is a beautiful shot with the bright blue sky. Looks like a perfect place for a White Wedding. (Sorry..the song White Wedding popped into my head).

Hello Lyn....With the low angled shot this quaint church stands proudly above everything else and I like that...Your closeup shows so much detail and colour in your subject and that makes it a pleasure to view....Well done....All the very best to you Lyn........................................Mick.
