The Old Church

Canon 7D, 18-55mm Lens

Old church at Okaramio on Highway 6 between Renwick and Havelock.  I was up at the crack of dawn in Autumn for this shot.  There was thick fog all down the valley, shrouding the church completely.  I can't find much about this church, but it was built at the turn of last century - in early 1900s and was used for church services from all around the valley.  People would come from miles away.  When church services were transferred to Havelock, it was then used as a school house for the children on farms in the vicinity.  I believe the church is still used for services, but only once a month.
