Hallgrímskirkja

Hallgrímskirkja- Atop Skolavordustigur (a main street in downtown Reykjavik) is Hallgrímskirkja. This was a really great spot because it provides a fine view of the city, but it also allowed to me to work on my “art photography” skills. The lighting inside was wonderful and I enjoyed myself trying to get really deep into the “art photography” universe. I didn’t make it that far in, but I like the photos I took anyhow. I lay the photos out here as a walk up to, into, and then out of, the church.

Though I find no deep peace or divine awe in the presence of large structures built to attempt producing just such feelings in the religious faithful, it was a nice interior, simple and open, with a few less tourists than many spots. I beat them to it on this day. As you can see in the last photo, they were gathering outside to breathe the life out of the surrounding trees and innocent bystanders. For a moment, I thought I might be one of them, but then I realized I have a few years left before I am jilted into their world. I feel it coming on quickly though. I feel afraid.
