Awoke this morning, quite disorientated from daylight savings time and some overcast weather.
An east coast low had arrived sometime during the night.

I walked down the beach hoping for some of those brilliant colours that occur with the right cloud formations. I waited and finally the sun broke through for a few brief minutes.
I went into Port Macquarie early. With about an hour to spare, I thought the historical churches in the town centre would make good subjects in the available light.
The Anglican Church (above) and Catholic Churches are opposite each other, sitting high on the hill overlooking the town.
Both churches have a long history in Port Macquarie, having to undergo major restorations and maintenance during recent decades.
The skyline looking west over the Catholic Church showing the crosses visible from many areas of the town centre.
Twenty five minutes past eight, an accurate account of the time I was there. The clocks feature on the Anglican Church.
Looking along the northern wall of the Anglican Church to the Catholic Church opposite.
Another view of the western skyline from the Anglican Church.
A plaque commerorates a period of restoration work from the twentieth century.
The front entry to the Catholic Church.
A street view of the Anglican Church. When I first arrived a kind looking man, a minister of the Anglican Church, exchanged good mornings with me as he walked on to the town centre below.
It was such a peaceful time of the day, reinforced by the location, the buildings and the history.
Down on the main street below the prominent churches, is the Wesley Church built in 1857. Great early architecture from a period of Australian History!
Back home and the drizzly weather was settling in. Could be the lull before the storm!!
My SLR Camera tip for today is to never discount the photographic opportunities of a dull day.
