I hope everyone had a super Christmas yesterday! I had a delightful day with my family and am now recovering nicely at home! :0)
I thought seeing as it was the celebration of Christ's birth yesterday I'd have a shadow shot of a favourite church of mine: St Mark's Anglican Church in Darling Point. It's not too far from where I live and I pass it on my constitutional evening walk a few days a week. On Sunday mornings we can hear the bells ringing for the Sunday service and on Saturdays there's usually a wedding.
It was built in 1852 in the English Gothic style; more specifically the Victorian Romanesque style that was popular in the day. It's built from lovely sandstone which changes colour at different times of the day.
And! Just as an aside, it was where Elton John married his sound engineer, Renata Blauel, in 1984 and where Muriel of Muriel's Wedding fame was also married!
Shadow Shot Sunday is a fab meme set up by Tracy of Hey Harriet! If you'd like to join in you are more than welcome to! All you need to do is read the instructions here.
Nice choice for a special occasion. Merry Christmas!

What a gorgeous church! And that blue sky is rather special considering that I haven't seen much of that lately. Yes, I think the cyclone may be responsible for the icky weather but at least the cool temps are nice. Much better than the scorching temps we usually experience at this time of year. I like that Muriel was married in that church! Such a delightfully daggy little film. I loved it! Happy holidays Sam! You must be loving the time off! Enjoy every moment as holidays have a weird way of ending really quickly! Unlike work weeks... :) xo
