Black church at Búðir (explored)

The Buðir black church is one of 3 black churches in Iceland. The church is black because the exterior wood is painted with pitch, just like the hull of a boat. This is to protect the church from the harsh Icelandic elements. This works fairly well and buildings treated in this way have survived over 100 years which is a long time for a building to stand in Iceland.My 500 link 500px.com/yiannispavlis my facebook www.facebook.com/YiannisPavlis4/ my instagram www.instagram.com/yiannispavlisphoto/
