Little Church on the Corner & the Blue Door

After shooting in the morning I was driving back home and I luckly came across the church on a corner in Seal Beach. What jumped out at me was the blue door. I drove past it and turned around and just wanted to capture this small church and blue door that stands out o the corner. After the shot and looking at it in photo's I realized that the stone railing going up the stairs stands out as well.
Thanks and enjoy.
