The exterior of Old St Paul's Wellington, New Zealand.
Description of this beautiful old church is on my photo of the interior HERE

Edit: Thad mentioned the trees. They are Pohutukawa. When their brilliant red blossoms are out I imagine it would be a beautiful sight. I dont know for sure how old they are but they are old !

The board and batten exterior was popular in the era of this church's construction, as were the details of the carpentry of the interior. A beautiful example of the Gothic Revival style. By their scale, I wonder if the trees were planted in the time of construction. From the point of view you selected, the lighting contrasts are dramatic, helping to showcase the many angles of the roof lines and vertical battens. With that lighting comes the challenge of control - and you mastered that so well. A most enjoyable view of this old gem.

Thad has said it so very well. I couldn't improve him, so I like to join in with Sandi's comment: I agree with Thad for more than 100%.

Perfectly done, Lyn!

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Lightfoot 1967
