View Over Reykjavik

A view over part of Reykjavik captured from the top of the Hallgrímskirkja which stands guard over city. The church is both a parish church and a national sanctuary in Iceland. Its stepped concrete facade is an ode to modernism and a reminder of the Icelandic landscape. The church is named after the 17th-century clergyman Hallgrímur Pétursson, author of Hymns of the Passion.

 

If you are in Reykjavik it is definitely worth paying to take the lift to the top to get these wonderful 360 degree view of the city.
