Trinity Episcopal Church, on Jan. 13, 2019, across from the main square in downtown St. Augustine, Fla. The stone actually is gray, but the street lighting and my color balance turns it gold. The church has that classic English feel in a downtown that’s otherwise Spanish Colonial and Victorian. Handheld with Nikon D500, Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM Art lens, ƒ/1.8, 18mm (DX 27 mm), 1/20th sec., 1600 ISO.
