Hi,Janice,
A nice view of the mountains across through the natural frame of the church construction,
Nice play of shadows and light.
It's appealing.

Hi Janice,

That architect had a great idea when designing this church of - de Goede Herder -.
Strange that the church is out of kilter...

It almost seemed if there was no glass at all, but then you see the reflection of the candle.

That South Island also seems very attractive!

Hi Janice
No joking that view is amazing... I'm shocked we do not see more homes/hotels/shops! But that is a good thing! lol

SO much to see out that church window...

Hi Janice,
Splendid view through the window of this church! Great sense of space and use of shadows and light.
I understand when you said that is the most photographed buildings around the New Zealand region. Breathtaking view on the lake and mountains.
Bravo! Annie

Bonjour Janice,
Superbe photo!
Très belle ouverture sur le paysage d'une luminosité somptueuse. La lumière du contre-jour est bien perçue et rendue!
Bravo!

Michel.

Hello Janice,
a lovely view beautifully framed.The light and shadows and the cross and candles create an unusual atmpshere against the backdrop of blue. Almost theatrical.

Hi Janice..this is a nicely composed and balanced shot...nice job on the exposure outside and inside. I have had trouble with that before.

Hi Janice, a super shot with good composition but I think the slope of the church window is too noticeable and it may have been better to make that level as the horizon on the lake is not well defined.
cheers

I think whoever was conducting the service would get lost in that view too Janice. Very well composed and I love the use of window and altar to 'frame' the view. Lovely colour and good light. TFS,
David

Many thanks for your comment on ‘Smell the Flowers’. See his face sometime - probably. See him swing on that bush - not until I dog proof the fence, he has decided he can jump it quite easily thanks.

Dali's last supper of JC and his disciples....... but they are gone...... must be around eastern........the maid made a first sign with pieces of wood; a sign that wil exist for thousand of years.....
Try this, it was my first immediate thought:

Wow. This is amazing. Up until now the church with the nicest view in my experience is a little church backing onto a pine forest. The wall behind the altar features long, narrow, vertical windows--also a nice view, but very different from this one.

Thanks for your comments about the situation here. More people are planning to sleep at home tonight, which is a good sign. Those numbers just keep climbing, though.
