A Small Church Moment

I am so pleased with this photograph!

I took it when I was out walking last weekend with a friend. We wove our way in and out of the back streets of Addington, here in Christchurch and that's where we came upon St Mary's Anglican Church. But rather than taking the conventional shot of church door, stained glass windows, a steeple perhaps, I was completely captivated by this startling late afternoon tree shadow creeping up the rear wall of the church, arching over the park seat. To me, there's almost an animate quality about it. I took several photos of it but I like this one the best.
