There isn't any foliage along this stretch of Belmont Street so you can find a similar scene during any month.

To get the bright, golden morning light shining on the top of the church on Belmont Street, visit during sunrise.

The focal point of this area is the church so try to position in the center of your frame.

To make the architecture really glow, capture the light when it basks the top of the church.

Try to incorporate the other shops on the street to capture range of architecture style and to give scale to the church. Although the church is small, it will still appear large compared to the smaller shops.

If you're in the area for breakfast or lunch, check out Foodstory. This cozy cafe serves breakfast, lunch and snacks.

On the east side of the city, you'll see a little area called Footdee — also known as Fittie. It's an old fisherman village that faces the ocean and I highly recommend visiting!
