St Raphael's & a pretty Jacaranda

It’s not the prettiest of churches. I think it’s quite stark just on its own with all that plain red brick.

It was the Jacaranda that got my attention, so I had to stop for a shot & I thought that the Jacaranda helped soften the starkness of the plain red brick. The building on the left is part of the old convent, but I believe it's now part of St Raphael's school.

Looks better on black.

I have always wanted to see a Jacaranda for real. They look so beautiful in photos. Lovely shot

I like how you framed the facade of the church with the jacaranda trees. Lovely light and shade and colours.

I like the church,but the whole scene is very pretty

The church has nice presence on the hill and the old convent is lovely but you’re right it’s the trees that make this beautiful.

Very nice tree, the green of the leaves compliments the flowers so well

The tree works well to soften the rather stark architecture of the church - fav!
