Church in New Norcia, an active (though small) Catholic monastery in Western Australia. Originally founded by Spanish monks as a mission to the Aborigines. One of the bus tours which visits the Pinnacles stops by at this town.
Fong > Christ Church cathedral, Darwin.
Darwin Harbour was named by by the captain of the HMS Beagle, Capt John Wickham. Capt Wickham named the harbour after a well-known naturalist who had earlier graced the HMS Beagle, namely Charles Darwin. Darwin was originally named Palmerston, after the British Prime Minister Lord Palmerston.
Lord Palmerston has not been entirely forgotten, however. His name continues as the name of a major suburb of Darwin.

Fong > I had never experienced a Christmas 'season' until I went to Bangladesh. Since Christians, and advertisers, are a minority in Bangladesh, there is no prolonged period of jingles and Christmas advertising campaigns. However, the Christians do participate in a variety of celebrations for many days prior to Christmas. Christmas services are also rather long, compared to Western churches. I think this is because 'Christmas dinner' is NOT a Bangladeshi tradition!
Fong > LAMB church, Christmas season. Hand-held shot from a Sigma film SLR. I really like this shot. Of course, I had to take a few photographs to get one reasonably steady shot! (Taking several photos to get one 'steady shot' was unusual for me in the days when I used film!)
Fong > Uniting Church and fountain at night. Taken with FZ10. Handheld. Unprocessed. I think my hand was reasonably steady for this one!
