built in 1894, Raukokore Church is one of the most photographed churches in New Zealand, flanked on three sides by the sea in Waihau Bay on the East Cape. inside, a sign announces to visitors, "forgive the smell under the baptismal font, a family of penguins has made it their home and the mother penguin is feeding them fish."

Wow...what an AMAZINGLY blue sky! The church is gorgeous! I have a "thing" about church steeples and church doors...I shall keep this photo and add it to my collection...until I can get to Wellington and take the photo myself!
Perfect catch for Wordless! Mine's up too hope you can drop by.. Happy WW!
A nice church structure indeed. Happy WW! :)
paula - the church is a 9+ hour drive from here (nr where we camp) but you can still go see it when you come ok!?!
Lovely shot ...

Beautiful pic. Love the story - live an let live, even if it is inside your church - just the way it should be.
That is a tiny little church, is it really used as a church??? Or do just the penguins thank their blessings there?
That's cute. Does it really stink? Do they use it for services? You really did capture some beautiful color!
kristi and gigi - i'm pretty sure it's not used for services anymore, but i'm not entirely sure! maybe for funerals of locals, and as for the smell - i couldn't smell anything!!!
Such a blue sky! Penguins live in the church? How funny! That could liven up the sermons. :) Thanks for stopping by my place!
This photo is gorgeous. I took one of a church in the middle of nowhere one time and it came out similar to this, but this one is awesome!
That is one amazing looking place! What a beautiful capture!
