A study in contrasts

On a recent campervan trip around East Cape, I was driving along State Highway 35 when, just a few kilometres short of Waihau Bay, I came across the majestic sight of Christ Church, in Raukokore.
The Anglican church, which is a Category 1 historic place, was built by Duncan Stirling in 1896. It is unmissable, situated on a small peninsula, and when I came across it, its newly painted white exterior and steep spire contrasted beautifully with the blue of the sky and sea.
In order to photograph the church in its unique location, I drove down the coast a little way to capture the sea in the foreground and the backdrop of the forest beyond.
