WHALER'S CHURCH.
Built in 1913, the church has been used for a few marriages and baptisms, but mostly funerals as life at Grytviken was pretty tough.
Shackleton's funeral was held here and the Norwegian whalers that he had admired so much served as his pallbearers.

PS was a lot of play with curves.

Wish you all a nice weekend.
Wellngton

ps. I know Grytviken is in South Georgia, but it is a sub-Antarctic island and it was part of the Antarctic trip to me. :)

Hello Wellington, Nice shot, the brilliant whit of the church against the background mountains works well. Thanks for sharing.

Regards Phil.

Bonjour Wellington,
Trés belle composition de cette église construite entre flancs de roches de la même couleur d'ailleurs que son toit!
Sa blancheur immaculée la fait très nettement ressortir et lui donne beaucoup de classe!
Merci de ce beau partage
Amicalement Odile

hi Wellington, really nice tight crop composition and the stark contrast of the white building with the empty sorroundings and curves from the slopes, great colors and details
