"The Church" in Reykjavik by taffy

"The Church" in Reykjavik

After an overnight flight, we ( @jyokota and I along with husbands) have arrived in Iceland amidst snow and sleet and totally gray skies, checked into our hotel for the one night before leaving with our guide, and spent the day wandering about the capital -- a very charming small city, that I imagine is quite colorful on a sunny day. This is the main church - Hallgrímskirkja - in a town square. It's a very impressive structure that you can see from the outskirts of town. Heading to sleep -- feeling very successful having simply stayed awake most of the day and into evening! Will not be commenting much, but will try posting when Internet is available -- apologies in advance!

Lovely lines, great in monochrome, hope the weather will improve. Although my experience in Iceland was that the weather can change every 15 minutes.
