Difficult to stitch together shots where there are waves crashing at different times. Suggestions for how I could improve this? I am by no means a PS expert.

Stephen's mother did a lot of research to find this old photograph and for us to actually be standing here taking this new one. The b&w photo is of Grovely church circa 1901. On the right is the chapel, which my Mum's church in Brisbane, Australia (St Matthews) is based on. Unfortunately, from the modern photo you can see it's been demolished (in the 1940s). Still, this was all news to St Matthew's here in Australia, so the search was quite productive regardless.

Here's a link to a site which documents the Brisbane church. www.grovelyanglican.org.au/st-matthews-mitchelton.html

On the (very windy) shores of Lake Tekapo. There is a large picture window behind the alter looking out onto the lake and mountains.

Certainly a place to be spiritual

After a heavy snowfall (albeit short) the surrounding hills were covered in snow. It was a difficult drive down in the new snow but thankfully I had my chains.
