Hallgrimskirkja church in Reykjavik Iceland

in #photography7 years ago

Last year while visiting the beautiful town of Reykjavik in Iceland. I was wandering around the city with my camera and getting hopelessly lost , which is something I always love to do when I travel.
I was taking a photo of a picturesque old graveyard and as I walked around the city I kept noticing this magnificent church in the distance.
Here is the graveyard and the view looking towards the church.

But it is even more spectacular close up.

You can also go up to the top and get a view of the city, there is something about snow that make mountains even more scenic.

Its called Hallgrimskirkja and i have no idea how to pronouce it :) .

If you ever get the chance to visit Iceland then do it.

I wish I could have seen some of the country. I've spent quite a few hours in Reykjavik's airport.

You should, i am sure it would be a new favourite,take your camera though and line it up when the northern lights are happening. Its a bucket lister.
